About

Fill-in-the-Blank Bio:
I’m not forgetting that I’m supposed to be at work, I’m just not going to miss the Deschutes salmonfly hatch, or at least that’s what my iPhone says. I’ve blown off no less than 90% of my income on fishing wherever I can discover a new way or place to fish. While driving Miss Daisy, I occasionally let one loose, but that doesn’t mean I can’t put in 14 mile fishing days too! My favorite surf to bust through is at Pacific City, but I also love reading the desctruction manuals.

Why do you Paddle?
The first time I sat in a kayak, I had a fishing rod between my leg, and full crab pots to contend with. I never felt so connected to the world.
