International Travel Consultant, videographer and writer
Professional Fly Fishing Guide

Fly fishing revealed itself to me in my mid-20s and immediately moved to the forefront of my life. This fishing journey began on the South Platt River in my home state of Colorado, where I still fish regularly. 

While I enjoy familiar fisheries, my true passion is exploring new waters and engaging the fish they hold. My zeal for interacting with Mother Nature in her disparate forms regularly takes me to fishing destinations throughout the United States and abroad.
My experience consulting in the software industry, life-long commitment to the right tool for the job, and unrelenting love of fly fishing has prepared me well for providing travel consulting services for EWA. When not exploring with a fly rod, I enjoy presenting myself with other humbling challenges including: telemark skiing; sporting clays; salsa dancing; and innovative preparation of wild game.
