Born in Arvada CO Brad Has lived in Durango for the last 14 years.  His fly fishing career of 28 years started out fishing with his Dad. He has tied flies for most of that time as well and recently was appointed by Umpqua Feather Merchants as one of their signature tiers.

His favorite places to fish are high country streams with difficult access primarily for the peace and solitude.

If not the high country creeks,  he loves saltwater flats anywhere, including the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Belize & Florida.  

Brad loves to fish small dries to difficult fish.  He also pursues pike and carp with a passion.

But some of his greatest moments are teaching kids to fish and catching their priceless smiles from their first success.
