BIOA circuitous path that began in the 1970’s as a Junior champion road cyclist during the golden age of bicycle racing - sexy Italian steel frames and alloy components, silk tires, leather helmets and toe clips, wool riding garments, and when I developed an appreciation for beautiful hand craftsmanship and passion for my interests. Educated at the University of Maine, and some influential experiences along the way including a teaching stint in Japan, spending several glorious years chasing after birds and trout, and a fly fishing guide - a pleasant way to be compensated for one of my passions and be near the species that inspires me to recreate them from wood and paint. My carving origins began in the mid-nineties with working decoys. I loved the art and beauty of finely crafted decoys working on water or on display in one’s home, but my passion for fly fishing and trout made for a natural transition to fish carving.
