Ben grew up in Southern Indiana and spent most of his young years exploring on a canoe fishing for bass, carp and pan fish. Ben discovered his love for fly fishing shortly after moving to Colorado 10 years ago and the rest is history. Prior to joining Cutthroat Anglers, Ben built consolidated business offices for large health systems across the country. After traveling on a plane 100 times a year, he decided to call it quits and pursue a life revolving around fly fishing and the outdoors.
