Bio
"My pursuit of fly fishing has brought me all around the country and has landed me here in the Pacific Northwest, which I now call my home. Based out of Bend, Oregon, I am a full time guide and FFI Certified Casting Instructor. My winters are spent on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, where I am the owner and head guide of River Salt Outfitters, a fly fishing guide service specializing in swinging flies for steelhead. My summers are spent closer to home in Central Oregon where I offer guided trips through Confluence Fly Shop and Deep Canyon Outfitters.
Fly fishing plays a powerful role in my life. It is a vehicle for adventure and discovery - the medium through which I find connection to the natural world and an awareness of things greater than myself. No matter how many times I pull on my waders and lace up my boots, the excitement never fades. Each day begins with fresh anticipation and ends with new insights learned. I am perpetually driven by the quest to discover what lies around the next bend, and like most anglers, my time on the water is never enough.
My constant pursuit of time on the water is what initially led me to guiding. Since beginning my career as a guide, my passion for the sport of fly fishing has evolved in ways I could not have predicted. After a short adjustment period, I quickly discovered that it didn’t matter to me whose hand was holding the rod. The places and the fish are what originally captivated me about fly fishing. And now, sharing this with others expands my perspective on the sport and elevates my own enjoyment on the water.
It is my goal as a guide, instructor, and Scott Pro Staff member to empower others with the tools necessary to make this sport their own. Every angler holds their own unique perspective on life, and that perspective is manifest in how and why they fish. As a professional, I offer a glimpse of what this sport means to me, and strive to help others discover what it means to them."
