Miami, Florida
Guide Experience/Responsibilities:
I was a guide in my former life but shifted my focus to the inside of the business. I have been in the Fly-Fishing industry for over 15 years as a guide, store manager, HR and now sales manager and guide service coordinator. I also make sure the customers are happy.
Fishing Experience:
I have been fishing my whole life and fly fishing for 25 plus years. I have been fortunate enough to have fished all over the world including Belize, Alaska, Mexico, British Columbia, Chritmas Island, The Bahamas, Florida Keys, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.
Exotic Experience:
I have to say catching my first permit on the fly was pretty cool, but I have been bitten hard by the steelhead bug and had this one steelhead hit my swung dry fly seven times before we connected. I was able to land him. I am still blown away that you can catch steelhead on a dry. The explosion never gets old.
Hobbies:
Fly Tying, snowboarding, my dog Hatch, good coffee and collecting fish decoys.
Wish List:
New Zealand, The Seychelles, Russia, Amazon, Patagonia and Bolivia.
Favorite Thing About Fly Fishing:
I get to meet people from all over the world and share my love for what I do.
