Gerry & Cyndi Caillouet:
Getting to spend time in the woods and on the water with many of today’s top Pro-outdoor personalities is one of the most exciting parts of Gerry Caillouet’s outdoor career. The radio show, God’s Great Outdoors has gone from national, to now international syndication and can now be listened to aytime online. Heard on over 300 stations in the USA and Canada, the program has taken the listeners On The Trail To Adventure! for well over a decade now!
Besides being an outdoors radio program producer and host, Gerry is an outdoor writer, wildlife artist, video producer and book author. He has fished and hunted in many locations across the USA and Canada. He is has been an instructor for the National Bowhunter Education Foundation and the Ohio Hunter Education Program, plus is on the Pro staff of Mathews Bows, Inc. Gerry also serves on the board of God’s Great Outdoors and is a past board member of Christian Bowhunters of America.
Gerry‘s wife, Cyndi does both the voicing for the recipe portion of the radio program and runs GGO’s office. The two were married in July of 1976. Their three children are all grown and married. Each family has blessed them with grandchildren, eight in total, with more on the way! These beautiful additions to Gerry and Cyndi’s life are a greater pleasure than they could have ever imagined, and it is these youngsters now in Gerry’s future that he hopes to spend time with, in God’s magnificent Creation in the coming years.
Tracy Breen:
Editor of God's Great Outdoors' Internet Outdoor Magazine
The Editor of God's Great Outdoors' Internet Outdoor Magazine, Tracy Breen, has lived his entire life in Muskegon, Michigan. He was brought up in a family full of hunters and trappers and he grew to love outdoor adventures at an early age.
Tracy's father trapped for a living during the late '70s until the fur market fell apart in the early '80's. At that point, he took up taxidermy which he still does for a living today. Due to that influence growing up, Tracy decided early on that one way or another he would make a living in the outdoors.
Also, being brought up in a home with a Christian foundation, Tracy wanted to somehow tie the two together, but was unsure how this could happen. It was by God's grace and in His perfect timing that Tracy contacted Gerry Caillouet about a magazine idea. Tracy's project was to be in print, while Gerry had been praying for someone who could help God's Great Outdoors by editing and running the Internet Outdoor Magazine idea he had in the back of his mind for several years.
After many weeks of prayer with his pastor and others, Tracy Breen accepted the offer to become a part of God's Great Outdoors as the new Internet Outdoor Magazine editor.
Besides the time outdoors, God has used another aspect of Tracy's life to prepare him to serve in this position with God's Great Outdoors.
Please keep an eye out as we reissue a new version of our online magazine. We'll be utalizing a new blog format and providing some wonderful atricles written by some fantastic authors. Please stay tuned.
