About

Growing up along the Boardman River in Traverse City MI, I grew up fly fishing. A couple decades later, I found leathercraft. With help from my mentors and friends Bob Summers and Arne Mason, I have found a way to marry the two.

I have the great privilege of being the inheritor of Arne's catalogue of products, cutting dies, patterns, tools, and construction techniques.
