Father of three, grandpa to six, have resided in central New York for most of my life. I was introduced to TU in the early 70's while fishing on one of the local streams. Became enamored with fly fishing as a young teen while witnessing a fellow fisherman streamside employing the long rod. Became active with the local chapter in the 90's when passing along our cold water stream heritage became important. Most interested in preserving, protecting and restoring our cold water fisheries here in Central New York.
