CURRENTLY AWAY ON VACATION! I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO MESSAGES OR REQUESTS UNTIL 11/17. Thank you for your patience and I look forward to connecting and good fly fishing on the Syracuse streams when I return.
about me
Being born and raised in Central New York, the local streams are my home waters. I learned to fly fish from my Dad when I was young and it has grown to be an obsession. It is a luxury to fly fish these streams year round as most are always open to catch and release fishing. I take full advantage of this luxury, intimately learning the seasonal habits of the trout in the local streams.
​
I graduated from Fredonia State University with a B.S. in Geology and I pitched for the NCAA baseball team at Fredonia. Baseball has always been a great part of my life (big Yankees fan). It was convenient Fredonia had great Steelhead and Smallmouth Bass fishing within walking distance of campus.
After graduating, I worked as a geologist and well driller in the environmental industry for seven years. My passion for fly fishing, the outdoors, and woodworking won over as my Wife and I decided a career change was in order. In addition to guiding, I am the president of Edgewood Outdoors, a woodworking company handcrafting products for the outdoors (including fly fishing nets) and home in our small shop in Central New York. Edgewood Outdoors is open!
​
When I'm not guiding or in the wood shop, you'll find me fishing the local creeks. I travel to Cape Cod to chase Stripers and Bluefish regularly. Oneida Lake is a rich warm-water fishery in the summer and with no shortage of options to chase with a fly rod (bass, walleye, pickerel, carp, drum, and pan-fish). If I'm not on the stream, a lake, or chasing Stripers, I enjoy hunting (poorly), or hiking in mountains with my Wife. Being in the outdoors is my lifestyle.
