In a world where the pace of technology often overshadows the warmth of human connection, four visionary friends discovered a path to bridge this gap. Matt Klepac, Dean Dzurilla, Cortney Smith, and Rhett Hartsfield, once thriving in the tech industry, found themselves yearning for something more meaningful—a way to give back to their community and create a lasting impact. Their journey led them to the creation of Outdoor Jack, a company dedicated to building stronger communities through dependable home services and a heart for charity.
The Genesis of a Vision
The idea for Outdoor Jack began with a simple yet profound desire: to build within their community. But how do you start? For these four friends, the answer lay in identifying what truly mattered to them and the people around them. They saw a pressing need to support elderly homeowners and single mothers, understanding that these groups often faced unique challenges in maintaining their homes.
Their vision was clear: team up with churches to impact the community through acts of service, help elderly families stay in their homes longer, and assist single mothers in maintaining their homes while spending more quality time with their children. This noble intention sparked the quest for a business idea that could serve as a catalyst for this kind of meaningful service.
Turning Vision into Action
In the winter storm of 2022, the opportunity to turn their vision into action arrived unexpectedly. As Austin was battered by severe weather, fallen trees and debris littered neighborhoods, creating urgent needs across the community. The four friends seized this moment to put their plans into practice. They teamed up in their various neighborhoods, offering their help by clearing fallen trees and debris for elderly residents and others who needed it most.
This experience was more than a temporary fix; it was a testament to the impact they could make. They realized that their idea could indeed become something bigger, something that could benefit their community on a larger scale. This led them to embark on the journey of building a company focused on delivering quality, dependable home services while nurturing their community spirit.
