The Mayfly Project is a selfless and caring initiative focused on kids that deserve a leg up in life. I can’t wait see this project come to life in Millbrook and to play a part in giving these children hope, support and confidence, all through an immersive experience with nature.

PETER MURPHY, LEAD MENTOR
Millbrook, New York
I grew up in the UK and moved to the US in 2008 with my wife Jaime, originally living in Boston, MA and then moving to the Hudson Valley, NY in 2016. My work has been focused on Human Resources and Talent Management and I currently manage the leadership hiring for BNY Mellon in New York. Over recent years I have been involved in our local community as a board member of a local charitable preschool improving access to high quality preschool education for members of our local community. More recently I have been learning to fly fish some of the beautiful rivers of the Hudson Valley, NY. I look forward to participating in this amazing project and giving others the opportunity to enjoy nature through fishing experiences.
SARAH BAKER, MENTOR
Brewster, New York
A New York native, Sarah grew up in the Hudson Valley spin fishing for trout with her father and grandfather. In 2003 she found an old fly rod in the basement, from here history has been writing itself. A self taught angler, Sarah has been using flyfishing to escape the stress from her 19 year career in emergency services. Sarah promotes diversity on and off the water. A MidHudson TU member, a Casting for Recovery Upstate NY Volunteer, and Juliana’s Angler sporting club member, and Twin Tier Five Rivers FFI member. Sarah has many passions in life, one is making “Life Casting Friends” on and off the water! Sarah is more then excited to jump into her new role as mentor for The Millbrook Mayfly Project!
