Fly Fishing Enthusiast | Gear Junkie
Central TexasI appreciate great gear, but being out in the outdoors is what it’s really all about.
Fly-fishing enthusiast and gear junkie who has helped 1,700+ anglers find the right equipment for their experience level, goals, and budget. I spend my time chasing trout (yes, even in Texas), bass, and saltwater species here at home, while traveling the U.S. to pursue other fish on the fly. When I’m not fishing, I’m usually enjoying good bourbon or working in cybersecurity in the financial institution sector to pay for these expensive hobbies.
