Devin O'Dea is a man of many hobbies and interests, most of which center around his involvement with the cultural outdoor brand Fayettechill. Devin, along with Daniel and the rest of the Fayettechill Media team, seeks to create a outdoor culture that is unique to the experiences and community that surrounds him. Whether is through the production and direction of Fayettechill social media, website, videoshoots, photoshoots, festivals, outdoor yoga classes, craft beer, non-profit partnerships, Devin hopes to frame the company that he contributes to with authenticity, social importance, and purpose.
Devin originally planned on attending medical school after graduation college, but found himself on a train that was too fun and moving too fast to get off the ride. His areas of study during his undergraduate years were Biochemistry, Philosophy, and Classical Studies. Together his exposure to these subjects help him with the continuous problem solving and awareness of cultural context that his job requires. Devin's main motivation with Fayettechill, and his career in general, is to contribute to as many individual's sense of adventure, ambition, happiness, and and sense wonder as possible.

Daniel always had dreams of creating and inventing. He spent countless hours as a child imagining that he was an astronaut, paleontologist, or racecar driver. In 2013, Daniel graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Mechanical Engineering but traded in his calculator and pencil for a video camera and editing software. In pursuit of his childhood dreams, he strives to create on a daily basis, using a digital sensor as his canvas and pixels as his pastels. He currently serves as the Lead Staff Videographer at Fayettechill Clothing Company where he specializes in capturing adventure, outdoor, lifestyle, and culture. He hopes to one day live on the moon.Daniel always had dreams of creating and inventing. He spent countless hours as a child imagining that he was an astronaut, paleontologist, or racecar driver.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
