I found a love for the outdoors & fishing at a very young age and luckily, I have never lost the passion for it. After moving to Oregon many years ago, fly-fishing became an obsession and a driving force in my life. I have enjoyed the opportunity to enhance people’s lives by passing on the experience I have gained over the years. Helping anglers get started in this wonderful sport has been the most rewarding part of my job. I love traveling the world chasing Saltwater fish on the fly, Steelhead & trout in our local waters and tying flies when not on the water.
Growing up in Montana I began fishing at an early age. In the 9th grade I took a fly tying class and that started a long journey down that fly fishing road and I've never looked back. Family and work as will happen got in the way but in the mid-80s we were invited to spend a week in Central Oregon fishing. Having fished rivers and streams in Montana the high lakes absolutely intrigued me. Now after some 60 years after that first fly tying class, I find myself in the envious position of working weekends in a Fly shop and fishing during the week.
