IF YOU ARE GOING TO WEST VIRGINIA~~YOU NEED TO GO TO iplayoutside.com FIRST Our Mission We strive to be a vital player in the desire to build the Appalachian tourism market, and increase health awareness in the states of Appalachia by helping existing and new participatory, outdoor sporting events gain local and national attention on the World Wide Web. Our Goals The Appalachian area is one of beauty, offering many natural resources to its residents and tourists. The area is also one of isolation thanks to its rural qualities, and mountainous terrain. Our intent is to create an active Appalachian community that generates more customers interested in tourism, outdoor sports, and outdoor activities. By increasing the number of participants who pay to race, tour, and play in Appalachian's natural resources, the number of participatory events will increase as well. These outdoor active events will generate more money for the communities they serve, more attention to their campaigns, and a heightened health awareness in our rural area. The iPlayOutside Management Team We're proud to be based out of West Virginia, the only state located entirely in Appalachia. It's all wild and wonderful here. Don Parks Web Developer/DBA, Founder/Co-Owner An IT professional by day I spend my free time playing and working outside. Living in the WV countryside with my wife Heather and two dogs is my own piece of "Almost Heaven". But when there's problems with the web site, who do you call? Julie Black Director of Operations, Web Master/Co-Owner Better known as Julz to the outside world, I was basically iPlayOutside's first full-time employee. Responsible for most of what you 'see' on the site my duties include: Web/ad design, writing, editing, news, business and marketing, etc. Want to know more? Check out my Blog! Jason Black Business Manager/Co-Owner Playing outside is what I like to do. From paddling down rivers to camping on mountains, east coast to west coast, it's my idea of L-I-V-I-N. See ya out there! JR Petsko Head Photographer/Sales Three of my favorite things in life are photography, sports, and meeting new people. That's what made becoming a part of this team such a thrill for me, it's a dream come true. See more on my site. Our History iPlayOutside.com birthed its humble beginnings as WVOutside.com in 1998. The founder, Don Parks, was a local runner and biker who found it difficult to find race results and photos anywhere. He decided to use his web savvy to create an online e-zine to post results, photos, and short stories from local running and biking races. Hence, WVOutside was born. Back in those days the web was a new and magical thing. Don began to post local races into an online schedule and people took notice. WVOutside became a stomping ground for local racers to find events to participate in, and a place to find event coverage. His dream began to become a reality when he hired a small staff of field journalists. With the increase in web software, and digital camera technology, WVOutside grew at a rapid pace, and the staff began to cover events in other states. The name was changed to iPlayOutside, the site evolved, and so did its followers. Today, iPlayOutside is still a state-of-the-art site, catering to the interests of today's outdoor participatory sports enthusiasts in an on-line magazine (e-zine) format. From professional athletes to everyday walkers, the site focuses on positive energy, outdoor fun, and community. 100-Mile C&O Canal Fun Run Crew Articles and Photos from the WVOutside/iPlayOutside Archives We'd like to give a shout-out to the old school and generation 'next' iPlayOutside extended family.
