Meet the Team
My name is Josh Tesmer. I am a Dayton native and the owner of Wild Dayton. I have been caring for exotic animals since I was seven years old when my parents got me a chameleon for my birthday. I started Wild Dayton to share my passion with others in my community. I hope to instill knowledge and respect for all of God's creatures.
My name is Jadyn Funkhouser. From New Jersey, I moved to Ohio to attend ONU, where I graduated with a bachelor's in environmental science. Along with working at Wild Dayton, I also teach an afterschool program at Adventure Central. In both these positions, I hope to develop and inspire the next generation of scientists.
