Pat is a true outdoorsman, spending much of his life immersed in nature—whether it be fishing, skiing, or trekking through diverse landscapes. His love for fishing began at the age of four, when his father and grandmother first placed a rod in his hands, sparking a lifelong passion. About thirty years ago, he discovered fly fishing, and from that moment forward, he never looked back.
As an alpine ski coach, Pat traveled extensively across the globe, always with a fly rod tucked into his bag. Those journeys gave him the rare opportunity to cast lines in waters from the wilds of Scandinavia to the remote beauty of Patagonia. These experiences greatly enriched his knowledge and skills. For over a decade, Pat has been a Certified casting instructor, and he is working to achieve his Master certification. More recently, Pat has discovered the competitive side of angling, which has given him a new perspective on various fly fishing techniques. As a professional guide and casting instructor, he continues to share his expertise and passion with others.
