My love of fishing began at an early age. Growing up along the banks of the Yakima River, in Central Washington, it became pretty obvious that fishing was in my blood. In 1997 I moved to Bozeman, MT to attend college a little and fish a lot. This is where I really began to hone my skills, eventually trout bumming for entire summers on the Missouri and other area rivers. After an 8 year stint chasing steelhead up and down the coastal rivers of the Northwest, I have returned home to the rivers I love and First Cast Outfitters is born.
When I am not in Montana guiding for trout, you can find me during the cooler months on the Gulf Coast guiding for redfish, sea trout, tarpon and jacks in Rockport, TX.
