Born in Northwest Pennsylvania close to French Creek and the Allegheny River at a very early age.
Retired 10 1/2 years ago from professional health care.
Retired with 28 years both active and reserves US Army.
Wading in the creek with shorts, shirt and tennis shoes and either a fly rod or spin tackle is my idea of relaxation. I also use a personal, one-seater, pontoon water craft when the water is too deep.
Favorite fly tying material is deer belly hair. Currently Dahlberg Minnows are my favorite creation.
