Florida born. Water raised.

I'm a Florida native who grew up on the waters of this state — hunting ducks and deer in the pine flats, and chasing snook, trout, and tarpon from the mangroves to the passes. If it floats, swims, or flies, I'm probably after it.

Beyond the rod, I'm a national-level competitive C420 sailor. Whether it's a tiller in my hand or a fly line in the air, I have a passion for anything on the water and a deep love for the great outdoors.

I have a stubborn belief that the best things are the ones done through quality time and real effort — and I put that into every fly I tie. No pattern goes up for sale unless it has been hand-tied with care, tested on local water, and approved by anglers who actually fish it.
