About Ken:
Ken has been an avid fly tyer and fly fisherman for over twenty years, spending most of that time roaming the beaches of New York, New Jersey and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Although his main focus is catching trophy striped bass, he has caught multiple species on the fly - false albacore, redfish and tarpon being at the top of that list. Tying for Ken connects him to his quarry, it gives him the opportunity to improve his skills and share what he’s learned along the way. He believes every bare hook in the vise has the potential to be memorable. When not tying or chasing fish with a fly rod he is a father, husband & "lab dad," as well as a network security engineer for a large telecommunications firm.
