Background
I have been fishing my whole life. In 2016 I made it my career. I take pride and creating an unforgettable experience every time I'm on the water. I started Fishing as a young boy on my grandfather's dock on derby lake in Stanton, Michigan. I fished throughout my whole adult life. In 2013 I was in a Vehicle fire that nearly killed me. With all the newfound time on my hands healing, I found fly tying and immersed myself in the world of flyfishing. With countless hours on the water and time on the vice. I decided to make this my career as I got back on my feet. After nine years of guiding I absolutely love what I do! There's no better therapy than the water. I'm passionate about sharing my story and the healing powers of nature that surround us.
