Fredericksburg, VA

Father and husband.
Had the best father growing up, and he did and still does the best he can for his family.All I can hope for, is that I can just help or be there for someone who needs a hand shake or just great encouragement.
If they learn to fly fish from us, then awesome, but they can just be a kid, is what matters the most.
