I have been a fly-fisherman all my life. The fish I am fondest of are Atlantic salmon from any river and Steelhead from the Salmon River which flows through the towns of Altmar and Pulaski in New York State. Why do I consider Steelhead only from the Salmon River? The Salmon River is the closest steelhead river to where I live in Belmont, Massachusetts.

My educational and career background includes a BA degree from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut and an MBA from the Columbia Uiversity Graduate School of Business. I was a practicing CPA from 1975 until 1998. I retired in 1998 to devote my time to fly-fishing, writing, and photography.

If the joy of fly-fishing is based in overcoming problems, then I have enjoyed some success. I don't know everything but every moment spent on the water provides me with opportunities to experience some frustration, overcome some problems, and learn something new. I plan to write magazine articles for publication and particular aspects of fly-fishing. My longer term goal is to combine magazine articles into a published book.
