Born in Northwest Pennsylvania close to the confluence of French Creek and the Allegheny River at a very early age.
Retired 11 years ago the end of March 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 (Diver) Minnows are my favorite creation.
I recently attended an all day seminar with Davy Wotton as the guest speaker. He is a wet fly guru. His inspiration was David Whitlock.
