Doc was on the ground floor of Cow Creek ranch in the early days of the ranch. His fly fishing guide background, stream habitat knowledge and passion for the outdoors and ranches was instrumental in developing our fisheries management plan and fly fishing program at Cow Creek Ranch. His experience as a guide and customer service proved invaluable to our guests and the ranch. He doesn’t hesitate to jump right in as a team player putting a plan in action, sharing ideas and doing the work that needs to be done. His ability to hold professional and personal matters private is a highly respected added bonus. With Doc’s involvement we achieved our goals of providing first class fly fishing to our guests for many years as an Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Lodge and proud to have Doc has part of the Cow Creek Ranch family over the years.
