I’ve lived in Colorado since 1988 and started fly fishing in 1989
I have 20+ years of experience teaching fly fishing, fly casting and fly tying and created the Fly Fishing Section and Fly Fishing School of the Colorado Mountain Club
In 2004, I became a Fly Fishers International Certified Casting Instructor and a Master Certified Casting Instructor in 2013
I became a Fly Fishers International Instructor Examiner Faculty in 2018
I am active in mentoring future Fly Fishers International certified instructors
My teaching approach is based on understanding your goals, assessing what is needed to achieve them, and breaking down the required skills into manageable steps
I believe that mastery of the fundamentals is critical to success at all levels
