Alex Schult

I’m a veteran, outdoor enthusiast, long-time photographer, real estate agent, and proud father. Growing up, I spent countless weekends camping with my family, building a love for the outdoors that stuck with me—though I took a bit of a break from it as a young (and not-so-young!) adult. Like a lot of people, I reconnected with nature during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it completely changed my life. I dove headfirst into overlanding and off-roading, combining my passion for adventure, gear, and photography into a lifestyle I now can’t live without. That journey led me to found 4WDTalk—a place for folks like you to get honest, experience-based insights about everything from rooftop tents to recovery gear. Let’s hit the trail together—and have some fun doing it!
