Well, several years ago I caught the fly fishing bug really bad. By luck or necessity I found myself needing to step outside the office to rediscover myself a bit and get away from pushing my mouse around day in and out. Being fortunate to have family property along the Skagit river, it was time to learn some new tricks and dive deeper into these many river and creek systems around me as a means to breathe, think and lift creativity and discovery.

As the owner and principal of a branding, marketing and experiential design firm, for over two and a half decades of designing stores, working with pro athletes, creating national campaigns and product launches for brands around the world, I stepped into some water to revitalize my soul and breathe in some sweet air and wind off various rivers and creeks and the Salish Sea in the Pacific Northwest. So, today I am trying to offer up some products to wear while casting colorful feathers at what lies below the ripples.

Flystik began with this idea to launch a new personal brand, products and create a space to share some of my passion, some perspectives, and focus on deepening my community in a place of purpose for me, that keeps me refreshed & renewed, while driving my creativity and design spirit.
