MY PHILOSOPHY

I grew up and still reside in the Alleghenies in Northwestern Pennsylvania. From a young age I have been connected to the wild here; camping, hunting and fishing as long as I can remember. There has always been a desire to understand or feel beyond those experiences, and a basic desire to just be outside in the elements.

 

I also have been an artist since I can remember. Always trying and finding a way to express myself in a variety of mediums; painting, drawing, carving, and writing. All of those things have always brought me so much joy, but I still didn't feel as though I had completely found the medium that aligned with all of me. 

​

Fly fishing and all of its aspects are to me an artistic process no different than any other art form.  Its a way of life, a way of thinking, and I could not feel more grateful to have found what I am.  What is so fulfilling about this craft to me is the ongoing process of learning, understanding, applying and starting over.  

​

This is a space where I want to share my process, my experiences, and my life as an artist and as an angler. I hope that bringing you into my journey evokes something in you like it does in me.
