Mains

Trout Unlimited

Director at Large, Producer & Editor

Conservation is at the forefront of all my thinking. My involvement started my freshman year of college, and has blossomed into so much more than I ever could have imagined.

  • Emerging has had a bigger impact on my professional career than anything else. Through my role with the podcast, I've had endless opportunities to connect with some of the most inspiring people in the outdoors space — connections that have led me to Yakoda Supply, Travel Creel Hospitality, and Smart to Fish Wild with Mark Candler.

  • With CTU I am assisting with youth initiatives, leadership opportunities, and continuity within Colorado Trout Unlimited's network across the state.

  • The CSU Fly Fishing Club was the start of it all. Connecting with this club led me to know and love TU Costa 5 Rivers. Without the CSU FFC nothing on this page would be here.

Travel Creel Hospitality

Hospitality & Brand Curator

Travel Creel is the ultimate intersection of all of my passions. Travel Creel brings together fishing, food, fun, and friends. Its no mystery why I got involved

  • At Travel Creel Hospitality, I wear a lot of hats centered around hospitality and client experience. I host and coordinate destination fly fishing trips, manage guest relationships, and represent the brand at events and fly fishing shows. Whether I'm helping a client plan a trip or representing the company in person, my focus is creating meaningful experiences and building lasting relationships around the water.

  • Beyond the hospitality side, I also help shape the company's voice across social media and digital platforms. I work across website management, marketing, creative projects, and partnerships to help grow the brand and strengthen its connection with the fly fishing community. Whether I'm producing content or building partnerships, my focus is creating meaningful experiences and building lasting relationships around the water.

Yakoda Supply

Brand Host & Content Lead

Yakoda Supply is a brand that loves everything I do in all the same ways. Yakoda is simplifying the angling experience through purpose built gear, thoughtful design, and a community driven approach to fly fishing.

  • At Yakoda Supply, I manage the brand's social media presence and day-to-day communications across digital platforms. I serve as an on-camera personality for the brand, producing product videos, creative campaigns, and humor-driven media content designed to engage both core anglers and newer audiences.

  • My role also centers around developing content that reflects Yakoda's voice and culture while creating a strong connection between the brand and the fly fishing community. I contribute to product development through fly design and work closely within the outdoor industry to build relationships, partnerships, and community connections that support the growth of the brand.
