I have lived on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for 40 years and have been wrapping custom rods for almost 30 years. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 30 years and have three grown children, and three granddaughters. I worked in a local tackle shop for 22 years until I decided to take a go at full-time rod building. When I’m not building rods, you can find me with one by the ocean.
