I am a retired physician, with a specialty in Neuroradiology, who wanted to be a hydrologist.  I enjoy spending time with my immediate and extended family and live in the beautiful metropolis of Swan Valley, Idaho. My wife and I love to travel and see other cultures and I love almost anything outdoors; fishing, skiing, biking, hiking, camping rafting, and kayaking.

My son wanted to learn to fly fish almost 40 years ago and I read great things about the South Fork and the Henry’s Fork.  That first visit was a wonderful experience.  My son hooked up just before lunch on the first day, he got so excited that the guide didn’t go in for lunch and allowed my son to catch more Yellowstone Cutthroats on a dry fly.  We were addicted and still are to that experience. What I love most is evening wades with selective rising fish, late fall days after the trees have turned and it is lightly snowing in the canyon of the South Fork and the fish are rising to BWO’s, and you can’t beat the excitement of early chilly mornings with the “mutant hatches” and the Browns smashing the fly.

I believe in and support the preservation of the beautiful Henry’s Fork and the South Fork rivers or any riparian environment. I became aware of the “HFF/SFI’s mission statement” of protecting and preserving the HFSR and SFSR and of their successful approach that was based on strong scientifically based data and assessment and their willingness to work collaboratively with all the rivers partners.  I felt I needed to do my part in that great effort.
