Fishing holds a special place in my heart, starting with family vacations to a lake resort with my Family. Those summer days spent casting lines created unforgettable memories, bringing us closer and instilling a love for the sport. Each trip was an adventure filled with laughter and a deep appreciation for nature.
Welcome to my realm of custom fishing rod building! Following a 34 year tenure as a process engineer, I discovered my passion for crafting distinctive fishing rods for family and friends. What began as a leisurely activity has blossomed into an exhilarating adventure, enriched the skills I’ve gained from renowned craftsmen and my participation in the Custom Rod Builders Guild. Join me as I showcase my creations and joy of this captivating journey!
Designing custom fishing rods combines my engineering background with a passion for craftsmanship. The multitude of techniques available to achieve the perfect rod makes this craft endlessly fascinating. Each project is an opportunity to innovate and create something uniquely tailored for fishing enthusiasts. I take pride in blending functionality with artistry in every rod design.
