My published writing features multiple destinations across Colorado and Florida as well as locations in California and Ohio. From freshwater to saltwater and coldwater to warmwater , chasing multiple species with a fly rod enhances the travels I make. Professional guiding, freelance writing and frequent traveling have given me the opportunity to successfully combine all my passions.
Vail Valley Anglers features my writing regularly in our ShopTalk Blog. As a paid Blog writer I enjoy writing about a variety of fly fishing subjects for our fly shop. Check our website to see the latest Shoptalk blog piece I have written for VVA at www.VailValleyAnglers.com
My writing can also be found weekly in the Vail Daily newspaper, vaildaily.com.
