I moved to the Catskills in 2017 and took up fly fishing after 10+ years of fishing fresh and salt water with conventional tackle. In August of 2017 I started working at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum in Livingston Manor, where I quickly expanded my knowledge of fly fishing and it’s history and was able to rub elbows with and learn from some of the biggest names in the sport. From 2019 to 2021, I worked at & tied flies for Orvis' 2017 Fly Shop of the Year "Beaverkill Angler" in Roscoe. In 2023, I was featured in the book "25 Of The Best Dry Fly Tyers You've Never Heard Of" By Peter Nilsen. I now have a small shop of my own located at 90 Main Street, Livingston Manor, NY.
