The following individuals give time and energy to make Outdoor Dream Foundation possible. We are ever grateful for their commitment.
Brad Jones
Founding Board Member
In 2004, we launched Outdoor Dream Foundation, and have never looked back. As the son of Coach Harold Jones, I've seen first-hand the impact that outdoor experiences can have on the lives of terminal kids and their families. I am honored to have a role in continuing this mission. The ODF Kids and their families continue to bless me.
Barry Roe
Founding Board Member
I am a mortgage banker with United Community Bank, but as a founding board member of Outdoor Dream Foundation, my passion is helping kids.
I'm blessed to be able to help them through tough times by giving them something else to think about besides doctors and treatments.
To see them light up when you walk in the room and while they talk about the hunting or fishing trip, is a real joy.

President Georgia Chapter
I joined ODF in 2005 as a volunteer by taking kids hunting and fishing.
I've been a Game Warden in Georgia since 1993. And have also been very involved with fundraising in Georgia.
Just being able to help make a dream come true for these kids is the highlight for me. I am married to Julie and have two sons, Levi and Luke.

Host and Executive Director of Outdoor Dream TV
Family man, business owner, rancher, lifetime hunting and fishing enthusiast.
After volunteering to host a couple of ODF Kids on a hunt back in 2012, I fell in love with this organization and what it does.
Hosting families on outdoor trips quickly became an obsession for me. I started ODF TV to raise awareness for the program, and bring in additional funding so that we could reach out to as many children as possible.
I am very proud to say I am a part of this exceptional foundation, and plan on being a lifetime member, as well.
Doug McDougal
Dream Hunt Director
I work with outfitters and families to coordinate ODF Dream hunts all over North America.
When I am not setting up hunts for ODF Kids, I am out hunting (just about everything), fishing – open water and ice fishing (I live in Minnesota) – or playing handyman for a hunting camp in northern Minnesota.
Leslie Fordham
VP Georgia Chapter
I volunteered for my first ODF hunt in 2013 and I was totally hooked!
I’ve helped many ODF Kids have successful hunts with whitetail, axis deer, mule deer, turkey, dove, rabbit, hog and even fishing!
After 29 years as a private practice veterinarian, I now teach animal science and advanced animal science at Emmanuel College.
I live on and work a 5th generation family farm, raising natural beef cattle. I feel so blessed to help ODF Kids experience their dream adventures!
