JORDAN MURPHY, LEAD MENTOR
Rochester, New York
Having grown up in the Finger Lakes regions of New York, Jordan’s passion for outdoors and fishing started at a young age. After graduating from Ithaca College, he moved to New York City for 12 years working in Advertising. In 2018, he and his family moved to Rochester, NY. There was an immediate appreciation for Western, NY and the amazing local streams it has to offer for fly fishing. He enjoys getting outside whenever possible, especially fishing, finding bugs and having fun in local waters with his 5 year old daughter Levon. He’s really looking forward to the opportunity of becoming more involved with the local community by becoming a lead mentor and bringing The Mayfly Project to Western NY!
