Geoff has been fly fishing and fly tying since age five.  The sport has taken him across the globe from Germany and Ireland to the Bahamas and Alaska, as well as across the U.S. in pursuit of a variety of freshwater and saltwater fish.  He became the youngest Federation of Fly Fishers certified casting instructor at the age of 15.  His competition experience includes: member of the 1999 USA Youth Fly Fishing Team that competed in Ireland, and placed second in the 2007 Fly Fishing Master’s Team Challenge.  Geoff was a head guide for Trout Bum 2 in Park City, UT for ten years and fished nearly all the waters northern Utah had to offer.  He is a regular fly fishing, casting, and tying presenter for clubs and consumer shows and enjoys showcasing his casting and tying secrets he has accumulated over the years.   Geoff currently works in the sales department for Ross Reels USA and Ross Worldwide Outdoors.
