Hand-crafted fishing rods under the CRW_Patterns brand. Build tutorials and finished rod showcases on YouTube.
Ties his own patterns. The craft overlap between fly tying and rod building is where the obsession lives.
Avid hunter who takes the whole process seriously — field to finished hide. Knows how to tan what he takes.
Grew up there. The swamp, the water, the wildlife — it's in the foundation of everything that followed.
