"When asked I will say that I am from Texas- but the truth is that I lived in several states before I ever resided Texas. I'm lucky to have a family that taught me to fish at an early age- first int he Rocky Mountains and then along the Texas Coast. After attending Texas State I joined the Army, which brought me to Georgia and the banks of the Chattahoochee where I now live with my wife and son.
I was introduced to fly fishing through various veteran's outreach groups and quickly learned the physical, spiritual and psychological benefits of fly fishing and angling. I was once asked what fly fishing meant to me and this was the best I could explain it:
"My troubles flow downstream with the water- the stress, the physical and mental ache, the things there are no words for- they all drift away. It is renewal and creates a resiliency in me that few other things can. it is about the people, the places, the discoveries and sometimes the fish too..."
It is this world that I hope to share with others- and in turn hope they see it the way that I do. "
