Years With Fishwest: 15

Bio:

I grew up in the shadow of some of the most heralded ski slopes in the western United States. Instead of skiing or snowboarding, I took up fly fishing at a young age. Through high school & my early college years I was fortunate enough to represent my country playing Sled Hockey.

I started at Fishwest as a member of the web content team and now I oversee and manage almost every aspect of the daily life at Fishwest. You will find me guiding the direction of the fly shop, our e-commerce platform, guide service, and our international hosted travel services.

Fishing Experience:

Like I said above, I started fly fishing with my dad at a very young age. My dad was quick to introduce me to local waters such as the Weber, Provo, & the Green. I have always viewed fly fishing as a form of therapy both physical and mental. Once I joined the staff at Fishwest, my angling worldview changed dramatically. These days the scope of my angling now includes pursuing Carp, Pike, Muskie, Tarpon, Bonefish & many other species. I have been given the opportunity to travel around the world to fly fish with Fishwest, and have been on a majority of our Fishwest Hosted travel trips as the Trip Lead and look forward to sharing that knowledge and experience with anglers for many years to come.

Right now, my fishing goal is simple, more time on the water, with my wife, newborn son, and good friends.
