About me

The outdoors have always been a huge part of my life, but being from Dallas, I wasn’t fully introduced into fly fishing until I moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas for college. I was completely obsessed with the sport almost immediately, and it didn’t take long for me to realize that this is the career I want to pursue. I have been lucky to have met so many amazing individuals in the sport at the beginning, with a few becoming mentors to me and it was through their guidance and instruction that got me to where I am at today.

The constant act of learning new things both in the sport and in nature has led me to many amazing locations across the world. I have been privileged to guide in various locations such as Alaska, Arkansas, Chile, Colorado, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, and Pennsylvania. It has been through this search for exploring new waters, locations, and cultures that has allowed me to acquire new techniques, styles, flies, etc. that have been instrumental in my progression as both a professional guide and angler.

Besides guiding, I also enjoy competing nationally against some of the best anglers and fly casters which has led to lots of great friendships and a few podium finishes as a bonus. For the past 5 years, I have been extremely grateful to call my winter home Chilean Patagonia, but with the rise of Covid-19 and borders closing, I had to think of a new option, and what better than to join Stephen Balogh at Riffletrip Outfitters on the White River. With nearly 100 miles of trout water, fishing 365 days a year and some of the largest brown trout in the world, it was a no brainer. I’m excited to call Arkansas home again and look forward to endless days of big brown trout.
