Biography

Chad was born and raised in Colorado where he has been fly fishing since age 6. At age 18 he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served five honorable years as an intelligence analyst. During his time in service he introduced many of his fellow Marines to the art and sport of fly fishing.


Currently Chad resides in Mission Viejo, California with his wife Jackie. He spends a great deal of his time instructing new anglers, developing warm water tactics, and developing new fly patterns made of uncommon materials. All of his professional fly patterns are available from Rainy's Flies and Supplies and can be found in fly shops throughout the country and abroad.


Chad has caught over forty different species of fish on a fly rod, his travels have given him the opportunity to fish in both salt and freshwater environments. He is a self-taught fly tier and angler, who enjoys sharing his passion and experience with others.
