Like countless fishing enthusiasts out there, my love for the sport was kindled at an early age, fanned by a doting uncle whose passion for fishing was contagious.
He introduced me to the wonderful world of fishing, and it quickly became more than a hobby—it became a way of life.
With time, my fascination grew and led me down a path of exploration through a diverse array of fishing techniques and an exciting variety of fish species.
This journey of discovery was not just about honing skills, but about experiencing the serenity of being out on the water, the thrill of the chase, and the joy of a successful catch.
Eventually, my fishing adventure steered me towards fly fishing—a realm that fused precision, technique, and the chance to truly connect with nature. Fly fishing transcended being just another form of fishing; it became my true calling, my passion.
Now, I'm eager to share the knowledge I've accrued over the years and the passion that drives me with others who want to delve into this captivating form of fishing. I look forward to being a part of your fly fishing journey, just as my uncle was a part of mine.
Guiding and teaching the art of fly casting has been my life's work for nearly 12 years now. As a Fly Fishers International certified casting instructor, I've had the absolute honor of helping over a thousand eager learners embark on their own fly fishing journeys.
My students have been as young as 8 and as seasoned as 85, proving that it's never too early or too late to discover the allure of fly fishing.
What sets fly fishing apart from other sports is the deeply interactive relationship it creates between the angler and the natural world. Every cast we make is an open-ended question to Mother Nature—will she bless us with a bountiful catch or tease us with a near-miss? This thrill of uncertainty, of pitting our skill against the unpredictable elements, lies at the heart of fly fishing's charm.
The essence of fly fishing is not just about making the perfect catch; it's about engaging with the wild, understanding its rhythm, and harmonizing with its whims. The sport demands an active, hands-on approach, inviting us to immerse ourselves fully in the outdoor adventure. And no matter the day's catch, the real victory is in the vibrant experience of the chase itself.
Join me on this exciting journey, and together, let's dive into the captivating world of fly fishing.
Being a licensed Fly Fishers International casting instructor, a Texas Guide, and a Coast Guard Master, I bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and experience to every teaching session. However, more than just imparting knowledge, I offer you a chance to dive deep into an art form that's as rewarding as it's challenging.
Whether you're taking your first steps into the world of fly fishing or you're an experienced angler looking to refine your skills, my coaching approach is designed around you.
