I have tied flies for the past 12 years developing my style blending old school techniques and new materials for a variety of species, both saltwater and freshwater. I have lived and fished in the Southeast US along with the Pacific Northwest. I currently live in Southeast Louisiana, focusing my tying and fishing for gulf species and tying for local shops. I tie baitfish patterns along with shrimp and crab for pelagic species, large streamers for predatory species such as brown trout and pike.

I am currently on the pro staff for Finatics Fly Company, Nature’s Spirit Fly Tying, Temple Fork Outfitters, and UV Craft.

I enjoy being different than my competitors and trying new things. One species I target more than any other is largemouth. They can be quite challenging depending on conditions and locations, making me tie different between scenarios. I truly believe that’s what makes me a great tyer.
