I grew up fishing in the Rocky Mountain states of the USA. My early years were focused on many of the famous rivers and lakes in the region. As my love for fly fishing grew, I endeavored to grow my ability through competitive fly fishing. I started competing for Fly Fishing Team USA in 2006 and this year will mark my 15th opportunity to represent Fly Fishing Team USA at the World Fly Fishing Championships in the Czech Republic. I have been fortunate enough to experience some great memories and leaps in understanding as I've met and fished with and against anglers from all around the world. Many of those anglers have become close personal friends and I thank them for their friendship and willingness to share the techniques they have developed and the lessons they have learned. My professional life has centered around fly fishing as well. I have a master's degree in fisheries science, and I worked in the field of fisheries biology for seven years. In 2015, I started my fly shop at tacticalflyfisher.com where I try to provide the latest in fly fishing gear and advice that has been inspired by the competitive fly fishing scene.

This quiet sport still takes us to beautiful places and allows us to connect with nature. Trout hunting with a fly rod challenges us to physically and mentally enter a world where sophisticated prey holds the advantage. To become absorbed into the complexities of this gentle endeavor is the total escape.
