Wikipedia Contributions
I currently live in Bozeman, Montana and contribute to articles on Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Washington State, Western National Parks, Salmonids and Fly Fishing. I have worked with the Montana State University Library as both a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador and Wikipedia Visiting Scholar

Personal Library
Since beginning to fly fish in the early 1960's in Southern California, I've accumulated over 600 titles of fly fishing literature as well as a burgeoning Yellowstone and Montana focused history collection. I am very proud of my collection and trust it will help me be a better wikipedian in regards to the fly fishing, Yellowstone and Montana related articles.

Personal Interests and Contributions
I am an avid Fly angler, fly tyer and spend a great deal on time on the waters of Montana and elsewhere fishing. My proximity to Yellowstone National Park has compelled me to work diligently to improve and expand coverage of the park and Montana in WP. I write a regular blog post on fly tying and fly fishing for J. Stockard Fly Fishing.
