“These projects are a great way to embrace nature and be yourself. They give the children a chance to create a passion for fly fishing as well as new experiences and friendships.”

BRANDON CERA, LEAD MENTOR
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Born and raised outside of Dayton, Ohio, Brandon Cera attended Ohio State University and obtained both a bachelor’s degree in biology and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. It was there that he also met and married his wife, Kaileigh, who is a health care provider in Santa Fe as well. Brandon Cera and his wife are avid hikers, campers, skiers, fishermen and more, which means that you will often find them out and about with their dogs, enjoying the beautiful geography that Santa Fe has to offer.
