Description
Recreation has been a professional part of my life for 40 years. I served in the armed forces as a recreational specialist for 10 years with the Air Force. Then served another 10 years as a recreation director for the Civil Service. I was also recreation director for the US Air Force Academy and for the Air Force Space Command and have directed recreational programs for many civilian entities. I have worked as a hunting and fishing guide and now have my own business helping others have fun and educating professionals and beginners alike.
My love for fly-fishing started at an early age. While still a youngster, I started experimenting with my limited arsenal of fishing gear. Even though I had no fly-fishing equipment my fly-fishing was only limited by my imagination. Even as an ill equipped youngster, I have always been able to catch fish, most of the time to the bewilderment of the expert fly-fishers on the stream. Over the years however my skills and equipment have been refined to reflect my passion for the sport. Accumulatively, my fishing experience numbers approximately 45 years. I was very fortunate to be able to draw on the solitude and serenity of this activity during a low point in my life and survived because of it. Since that time I can say that when I fly-fish it is always "from the Heart".
As a professional recreator, showing others the pleasure of recreational activities, is a natural for me to share my talents and experience with others. Deciding to make this favorite past time a business stems from my desire to share with others how to make a recreational activity a re-creative experience. I have earned degrees in Recreation and Education. This coupled with my experience working on Guest Ranches and managing multi-million dollar recreation programs over the years has given me the neccessary skill to operate this kind of business.
