Up until 1986, I had only heard about fly fishing, but never really gave it much thought. During my senior year of HS, I took an Outdoor Education class, that covered all types of activities, including fly fishing. However, being a brand-new school, we didn’t have any fly rods, so we spent two weeks learning to tie flies. I was immediately addicted. In 1987, I made one of the best choices of my life and joined the United States Marine Core, where I served as an Infantryman for 20 years.

Born and raised in Hillsborough New Brunswick on the inner bay of fundy. I've been fishing for 30 plus years, Fly fishing seriously for 8 years. I started guiding 2 years ago for sea run trout and brook trout and will soon be offering Atlantic Salmon and Striped bass in the 2024 season. I've been tying now for 4 years, selling some flies locally and also on my etsy page. I live for fly fishing and bow hunting, bird hunting ( I harvest my own feathers for my flies ) when I'm not fishing or tying I'm usually wrenching on old motorcycles or working on my airbnb business. My guiding style is definitely trying to get clients to enjoy the full experience it's not just catching fish, it's the scenery, the sound of the birds, the sound of the river, the rise of a trout.

I live in Amarillo Texas with my wife and two boys. My introduction to fly tying started in 1982, my parents gave me a deluxe fly tying kit for Christmas. We spent time regularly at our cabin in north east New Mexico. Growing up fishing in the Rocky Mountains, Texas coast, and local lakes around the Texas Panhandle have helped make me the tyer I am today.
