With over 40 years flyfishing and tying experience, I have travelled to many destinations to fish for fresh and saltwater species. In my travels some of my flies have become widely used and are often go-to patterns for the guides in the areas that they guide in. A few of these places include Cooper's Minipi Camps in Labrador where they use my BMAR Norway Rat, Hex and Stonefly patterns. Guides at Crocodile Bay Lodge in Costa Rica use several of my BMAR Wounded Baitfish patterns. They are used there to catch offshore and inshore species. Guiding on the crown jewel of Connecticut, the Farmington River and shore guiding the coastline of Connecticut are my passions now. Currently, I'm the flytying editor for Fly Fishing New England and Fly Fishing the Mid Atlantic States magazines. I am also March Brown travel fly rods endorsed pro.

Some of the projects that I have recently completed are tying circle hook flies for a study being conducted by Lefty Kreh along with many working captains in the Northeast. In the past, I was on the research and development team for D.H.Thompson Cobra Vise. I am one of the lead designers for Pacific Fly Group. They have produced many of my innovative patterns for all anglers to enjoy. Currently I am promoting my dvd "Fly Fishing for Mako Sharks" and completing a second dvd on "Fly Fishing the Farmington River".
