Growing up, I was mesmerized by the artistry in fly fishing and, specifically, fly casting. While in graduate school, I had an officemate who fly fished.  He sold me one of his older fly rods for $75 and, just like that, I was a fly fisherman.  For me, fishing began on a nearby lake catching bluegills. I quickly expanded my fishing to include large and smallmouth bass and ultimately fell in love with chasing trout in the Driftless and throughout the U.S.  In 2019, I decided I wanted to become a part of the fly fishing industry and fly casting instruction seemed the perfect entry point for me.  Along the way, I have had the privilege to meet some fantastic people - eager beginners who are going to be die hard fisherman, peers who are incredible fisherman and fly casters and mentors who are pioneers in the fly casting industry.
