I’ve been in love with fishing since I was five years old. I spent my summers hand lining with a hook and sea worm for flounder off the docks of Gloucester harbor. There was a pond behind my house that I later stocked with trout by pedaling 5 miles each way to Chebacco Lake carrying my pole and bucket, transferring one to two trout at a time. At 16 I borrowed a bamboo fly rod from a friend’s dad and walked to the pond; casting for hours and hours, never letting the fly touch the water, I thought the trout were supposed to leap up into the air to eat the fly. I cast until the sun set that night. I’ve been casting ever since.

Today, my wife and I own River Summit Outfitters, a fly fishing and adventure lodge near the banks of the Madison River in Ennis, Montana. I’m also a photographer and filmmaker passionate about conservation and using my creativity to help protect natural resources, wildlife and wild lands.
