I Am A Fishing Fanatic

An engineer by day, you will find me at my desk or at home dreaming about my next fishing adventure. My favorite method of pursuing the various species that inhabit my East TN waters is with a fly rod, but I can be found flinging hardware with a baitcast or spinning reel. I have been flyfishing for around 15 years now, and learn something new each trip. I enjoy the time outdoors with friends and family, and I especially value the time I have with my wife fishing and camping. My job can be a hectic one, and I have found that the most effective escape I have from the stress is to pick up a rod and disappear for a while. My wife recently gave birth to our first child, and he is an amazing gift from God. Such a wonderful flood of emotions I feel every time I see him and know that he is my greatest responsibility. I look forward to taking him fishing for the first time, and trying to be as good of a father to him as my dad was to me. God Bless and Tight Lines.
