But his growing passion for fly fishing eventually won out, and in 1999 he moved to southern Chile and Puerto Varas to start up Tres Piedras, a full-service fly fishing agency. Since then, he has guided clients all over Chilean Patagonia. One of Chile's first-ever certified fly fishing guides, he is also an expert skier, white water kayaker and active in river conservation issues.
