Bob is a Maine native whose passion for the outdoors dates back to his early childhood years growing up on a farm in Poland, ME. Free time was spent on nearby streams and lakes or in the woods. Fly fishing became a pursuit in his high school years, along with alpine skiing, which lead to a career in ski coaching with an 8 year stint with the U.S. Ski Team. Bob resides in Bethel where he is an active member of the local chapter of Trout Unlimited. He spends his free time primarily on the Androscoggin River and over the last 7 years has gained an intimate knowledge of the fishery.
