I am very blessed to be the Health Fitness teacher at Hunters Creek Elementary School in Houston, Texas. I have enjoyed spending most of my 33 years hunting and fishing in God's outdoors. I have experienced countless adventures in the territory spanning from Alaska to Mexico, but I am always drawn back to the the San Juan Mountains and its streams.

I had the opportunity of guiding for trout and salmon in the wilderness frontier of Lake Creek, Alaska for three years, but have returned to guide for Dan's Fly Shop in Lake CIty where I first began my adventure of fly fishing at the age of six. Twenty-eight years of coming to Lake City confirms what many visitors have discovered: The Rocky Mountains are a place of Divine Creation.

When the last school bell rings, expect to see me heading westward.

"God made trout to swim in the stream. Its the only place they belong."
