History
Urban Diversion is the brainchild of ex dot-com veterans Topher Thiessen and Lance Evander. They had a dream to turn a lifestyle of leisure and recreation into a business, where the priorities are having fun, experiencing adventures, and making new friends. Their main mission was to give young professionals an affordable way to enhance their social lives and free time.
