As a first responder for 29 years, I learned early in my career how important it was to have a release.  For me, fishing provided a way to be present in nature, away from the job and the stresses that went with it. 

 

My love for fishing started at a young age.  Early in my career, I discovered the joy of fly fishing and spent countless days on Northumberland rivers and the beautiful Maragree in pursuit of the mighty Atlantic salmon.  I then discovered what I think is the most exciting recreational fishery on the East Coast - striped bass. Breathtaking sunups and sunsets, beautiful beaches, and lots of fish.  What more could an angler ask for.  

​

After almost a 30 year career, I'm ready to share my passion for this sport with other first responders.  Each summer month, I will dedicate a day to the Stripers of the Strait Calm Waters program.  Come join me and discover what fishing can do for your mental health.
