Meet the Owners!
Dion and Patty White are the dedicated founders and owners of 229 Outfitters, built upon Dion's lifelong passion as an avid hunter and outdoorsman who considers the woods his home away from home. Bringing over 10 years of experience managing hunting properties for others, Dion achieved his goal of owning his own property. He has also served his community for almost 30 years as a Firefighter/ Paramedic, and is known as an outstanding man, father, and grandfather. Patty, who spent 27 years as a banker, now serves as a Bookkeeper and a Property Manager of a local company with over five years of experience, and while she loves the beach, she has grown to love the outdoors through this opportunity. Lifelong Christians, Dion and Patty put God first in all things. Their favorite titles, whether hunter, fishman, or at the beach, remain "Dad and Mom" and "Poppa and Guh Guh". Their family includes their oldest daughter Beth McGhee, a professional photographer with "Ivey and Oak Photography," and her husband Grant, a member of the National Guard and a practice manager at Tanner Hospital; they have two sweet children, Ivey Jane and Grayson. Their youngest son, Wes White, is also a Fireman/AEMT and avid outdoorsman, and he and his wife Kaci, a stay-at-home mother, have a newborn son, Kolter. Now you've met the owners but where does the name "229 Outfitters" come from ?
This is Why "229" means so much to us.
