Bio
As a young New England flyrodder I explored the beaches of
Long Island Sound and Cape Cod for bluefish and stripers. Also, growing up in
CT, Vermont and the Adirondacks of Upstate NY introduced me to small trout
stream fishing and warm water lake fishing. I discovered at an early age that
all these species were willing to eat the right fly in the right place.
I graduated from Ithaca College 1986 and of course
my two favorite classes were rowing crew and FlyTying/ Streamfishing. Glad to
say I pursued what I studied in college.
Soon thereafter I found that an office job in
Boston was not to be my future and after getting my feet wet in Vermont I moved
to Basalt CO in 1992. I began guiding with the Taylor Creek fly shop on the
Roaring Fork, Fryingpan and Colorado rivers as a wade and float guide in 1995.
Some influential Scott Pros got me into
competitive flyfishing. Ted"Mustang"Relihan hired me as an Elk Creek
Lodge guide for a summer then with my partner Frank Smethurst, we won the 2004
OLN FlyFishing Masters. That was the same year that I became a Scott Pro
staffer and have carried the Scott torch ever since.
Having the opportunity to fish any fly rod on the
market I have found over and over that Scott manufactures the finest tools of
the trade for both freshwater and salt. Most every year Scott produces a
new flyrod utilizing fresh materials and winning prestigious industry awards
like the Radian, Sector and Centric rod series. We're always looking
forward to what's coming next season!!!
