My fly fishing journey started several years ago thanks to my fishing pal from Minnesota taking me under his wing (thanks Adam)! After a brief hiatus, I started fishing again and coincidentally also started running again after a year+ off. What better way to celebrate returning to things that bring joy?

On August 1st, 2026, I will gather in the San Luis Valley with conservation-minded Flyathletes from around the country to compete in an irreverant race that is held to celebrate and to benefit the incredible Rio Grande cutthroat trout. If you’ve never had a chance to see these guys, they are really beautiful. I think it was Adam who told me you’ll never forget your first cutty and I haven’t yet. 

These unique fish are an essential and beautiful part of the Centennial State’s past and present, and with your support of Running Rivers through my campaign, you are committing to ensure a flourishing future for our fishy friends! 

Appreciate your support of me and conservation of native fish ❤️
