I lived in Toronto, Ontario at the time i joined FF@. I can't remember who first told me about the List but it might have been Stephen Di Cerbo (still one of my best fishing friends, and probably my primary fly-fishing mentor). I now live in Port Alberni, BC (Vancouver Island) after too many years of big cities. I live with Matt McKay, who is also passionate about fishing, gardening and cooking. We both work as government-contracted observers in the commercial fishery. Because of our work schedule and geographical location (most claves take place in northeastern North America) I am less active on FF@ than i used to be.

Favourite summation of fishing ethos: "I just like to look at fish. If I have to catch them to look at 'em, well i guess i'll catch'em" -- Norman T. White. But I also like to cook, eat, smoke, pickle, paint, draw, and make pets out of fish.
