In 1988, I started the journey to the most fulfilling job of my life. I began repairing old rods as a hobby and well, the rest as they say, is history. I had been in the telecom industry since 1976 and that combined with training in engineering enabled me to view rod and reel making from an artistic, technical and business standpoint. When the telecom industry crashed, I realized I should make my hobby my full time job. I have never looked back. With the guidance of Glenn Brackett, Walt Carpenter, Daryl Whitehead and others, I knew I was headed down a path where I could make beautiful items and be happy doing it. I love making rods and reels! Each one becomes one of my “babies,” and I can’t make them fast enough.
