Loren Williams , Head Coach

Loren Williams was born and raised in northeastern Pennsylvania, where he was the youngest of three boys.  His childhood memories focus largely on family events and time spent in the outdoors.  After high school, Loren attended and graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science.

Throughout his life, Loren was exposed to, and developed a passion for, all things outdoors.  Very prominent in his young years were times spent with dad chasing the breathtaking beauty of the native eastern brook trout.  These  adventures spawned Loren’s current passion for coldwater fly-fishing. 

Loren’s first exposure to competition fly-fishing occurred when he traveled with Team USA to Lycksele, Sweden for the 2005 WFFC as an accessory member.  Watching the competitors “gear-up” and get on the bus each morning was all it took to inspire his commitment to joining Team USA as an angler.  That dream came true in 2007. 

Loren currently resides with his wife Heather, daughter Mickayla, and son Ryan in Westvale, NY where he is a full-time fly fishing guide specializing in salmon and steelhead tactics and teaching top-level trout fishing skills.   

Loren’s angling accomplishments for Team USA include:

* 2006 Midwest Regional: 4th
* 2006 West Regional: 7th  
* 2007 Midwest Regional: 1st
* 2007 Southeast Regional: 1st (perfect score)
* 2007 Oceania Championships: Team Bronze
