I was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, while my family was living there, but grew up in Lima, Peru. I attended college in the U.S. and now work for a semiconductor manufacturing firm in Manchester, NH. On any given summer or spring day you can find me trying to catch some Merrimack River smallies during my lunch hour. My home waters are the rivers and ponds of northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire where I fish for trout, bass, and panfish. I started fly fishing (thank you Emilio for introducing me to this great hobby) and fly tying in the year 2000.
