I didn’t grow up fishing, and it wasn’t until a work trip to Wyoming a few years ago that I even tried fly fishing. I was hooked. Even though I dreamed of fishing more, a mom of two boys has little time to dedicate to new hobbies.

Three years later, after one of those life-altering game changers I walked back into the water to find myself again. I haven’t looked back since. I’ve been hunting trout in Vermont and Montana, have become a mentor for the MayflyProject, and have been accepted into guide school. When I’m not fishing, I spend my days working, cooking for people I love, and teaching my boys how to live an experience driven life.
