Native to North Carolina but thankfully I have been able to travel throughout the US and abroad to enjoy the wonderful outdoors.  From a professional rodeo cowboy to a career in the US Coast Guard. My path has been eclectic to say the least.  One day hopefully I will add fly shop owner to my resume. As a part time guide and full time learner, fly fishing, just like leather work humbles me daily. Whether its chasing an IGFA world record, making 1,000 casts chasing musky, or designing custom leather goods, the challenge is the same. We must devote our time and energy to what we're passionate about.

My goal with Feather & Fin is to make quality leather goods that will be passed down for generations to come. I don't know about everyone else, but the items I cherish the most are ones with a history. From my grandpas jacket to my 1st shotgun my father gave me. They bring back irreplaceable memories and that's what I want to give to you.
