For the last 35 years I have been in love with the lifestyle of fly fishing, its not just a passion its a love also.
I would be very honored to build the fly rod you want not the fly rod everyone else has. Something you will enjoy the feel and line presentation. Something that make you enjoy the day and the fish caught with a fly rod you enjoy.
Skills
I understand what a customer is asking of their fly rod and not just build a piece of art. I build every rod to be used and cherished for many years.
Education
I Have been an industry representative for a major fly rod manufacturer for several years, and continue to work in the industry.
I maintain a fishing guide service in Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas. I currently only gillie guide at this time but will have a boat in the future.
I have take many hands-on rod building class from very experienced rod builders over the years and have experiences in building rods of many different methods and materials.
