I have been employed as a cabinet/furnituremaker for the past 15 years.  While I continue to do this type of work full–time presently, my passion is truly fishing.  I enjoy fishing for any species of fish, but my favorite type of fishing is river fishing.  Since I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania, I enjoy fishing primarily in the Schuylkill, Susquehanna, and Delaware Rivers.  I have always enjoyed making lures and tackle, but rod building has been the most rewarding because it allows me to use my creativity in new, exciting, and challenging ways.
