Driven by a deep passion for the outdoors and mentoring the next generation, TJ founded KOZ (Kids Outdoor Zone), one of the largest outdoor adventure ministries for boys aged 8-18. What began in South Austin 15 years ago has grown into a global movement, reaching places like the front lines of Ukraine. KOZ, now based in Smithville, Texas, continues to thrive and positively impact the local community.

Business Tip
Leverage Partnerships to Expand Your Reach. Instead of trying to do everything on your own, consider partnering with other small businesses or influencers that align with your brand values. For example, you could collaborate with a complementary business to offer bundled services, run joint promotions, or co-host an event. This way, you tap into their customer base and expand your reach without having to invest a lot in advertising.
Strategic partnerships can help you access new markets, share resources, and boost credibility?all while keeping costs down.
The Chamber is excited to help promote our business members events! To have your events, sales, specials, and more included in our monthly Chamber Newsletter, simply email us at info@smithvilletx.org. Our newsletter is sent to all members and non-members, and the details may also be shared across our social media platforms.
Let's get the word out and support each other!
