Member since January 2026 Wells, United States
Background
Born and raised in Portland, ME, I grew up fishing the ocean, marshes, rivers and lakes throughout the state. Spending my childhood through my early 20's as a traditional bass fisherman, my obsession expanded to striped bass on the fly nearly two decades ago and targeting everything from trout to sharks on the fly followed suit. Fly fishing has led me to many beautiful destinations, targeting diverse species from steelhead to tarpon, and has helped me discover a deep appreciation for what Maine has to offer us as anglers. I have since continued to hone and expand my skill set in other gear as opportunities present and I enjoy all forms of angling that our fisheries demand. Leaving a long career in Biotech, I now enjoy a much richer career in helping others enjoy the diverse fishing opportunities Maine has to offer. I look forward to serving you on your next fishing adventure!
Techniques
I am well versed in fly fishing, spin fishing with light and heavy tackle, trolling, fishing with live bait and ice fishing. My favorite way to take a fish is by fly- there is nothing like taking a big fish on the fly! However, I enjoy all types of fishing and believe the best anglers should practice as many disciplines as their fisheries demand.
