  • Jayson Smith

    James (Jayson) Smith is a dad of 6 and the founder of Nextdoor Handyman, a company he built out of his passion for self-sufficiency. Jayson’s grandfather inspired him to learn how to troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair electronics and electrical equipment. His grandfather’s example sparked the love of learning new skills in Jayson. He now spends his days empowering and teaching other homeowners the skills necessary to properly maintain their homes.

    When he’s not building or repairing homes, he is studying history, playing guitar, learning new skills, or learning how to fly a plane. At Guiding Arrow you will find him teaching guitar lessons, engaging in a lively discussion about our world, or leading a woodworking class.

  • Our Inspiration

    Meet Jayson and Megan’s big, happy blended family! Megan’s oldest son and Jayson’s oldest son, who are both on the autism spectrum, are the original inspiration for Guiding Arrow. Just like everyone else, these sweet kids thrive when in nature, connected to their community, and are actively learning.

    Jayson and Megan’s kids range from 2 years old to 17 years old. At Guiding Arrow, you will find each of the kids free roaming around the land. They like to spend their days exploring, going on adventures in their kayaks, picking berries, and laughing around the fire.
