I was born in 1948 and have been tying flies since I was 16 years old. For 4 years, while a college student, I worked in the Orvis Shop in Indianapolis, Indiana. My primary fly fishing interest is for trout in streams and rivers, although I also enjoy pond fishing for bass and bream. I'm now a Forester with the North Carolina Forest Service, and live with my wife and 16 year old son in Lexington, NC.
