I've been extraordinarily lucky: Traveling to more than 50 countries, guiding for 10 years in Alaska and Oregon, living in Central Asia and experiencing quite a bit along the way. All while managing to develop a few good stories. In between teaching, a 2 year old and a wife in grad school - I also started a new direction by starting a career in art. Here is art, travels and other aspects of my life.

Tickchik Wood State Park Fishing






Amy and I went back to the old stomping grounds - Wood Tikchik / the upper Nush with Jeff for 10 days or so. Jeff just got a new jet boat and has a 65 hp jet drive, so he was pretty excited to explore some spots. Between the two of us we had enough knowledge to get ourselves into some fish. After a June and July of abnormally cold weather, we were treated to 10 days of crazy (emphasize Crazy) warm and sunny weather. Barely a spot of rain. To top it off we found the bulk of the silver run - a few spots were simply silly in regards to the amount of fish we smacked.
