I live in Ohio, on the banks of Deer Creek. I am a fly fishing fanatic, and I love fishing for warm water fish, specifically panfish species. I prefer to fish with ultralight fly tackle, as I feel that it is more fun to use light tackle when fishing for panfish. I am also an amateur rod builder, and hopelessly addicted to all aspects of fly rod building.

I build rods mainly for myself. I will however occasionally build for others. PM me for details if your interested. Here are some examples of my work. My style is simple yet elegant. I'm inspired by the look of vintage Orvis glass rods, as well as contemporary Japanese rod styles.
