Growing up in San Francisco, California, fly fishing for trout wasn't even on my radar. However, this is where my fishing journey began with my father and grandfather. One of my earliest memories is sitting on a dock on the California Delta, casting for stripers. Several years later, I found myself living in Western North Carolina, picking up a fly rod for the first time, and the rest was history.

With a degree in communication, it was inevitable that I would find myself surrounded by people on the water while fishing. After spending time honing my fishing skills, I decided it was time to teach others how to fish. I love sharing knowledge and have a great passion for teaching.
