Partnerships
I am proud to be associated with a variety of organizations that help support wild fish, conservation and education about the places and things I find so important
Taiman Fund / Wild Salmon Center
Saving Mongolia's (and the world's) Taimen
After being invted on an expedition in Mongolia fishing for taimen I was incredibly interested in helping in any way I could to help preserve one of the most magnificent fish I've ever seen. The Taimen Fund was recently transferred to the Wild Salmon Center, who does amazing work for salmon, steelhead and taimen around the world. Take a look at them and support them: Wild Salmon Center

The Idaho Conservation League’s Artist in Residence program explores the nexus of art and nature. Launched in 2013 and now on its eighth artist, the program shares the beauty of the places we work to protect and tells stories of Idaho in creative new ways.
Keep Fish Wet Ambassador
Be a responsible angler
Keep Fish Wet promotes the use of science-based best practices to catch, handle, and release fish.
Science shows that even small changes in how an angler catches, handles, and releases a fish can have positive outcomes once that fish swims away. Not only does using best practices increase survival rates of fish, but it also helps fish return to their normal behavior as quickly as possible after release. Using best practices for catch-and-release is a quick and effective way to put conservation in to practice.
As an ambassador my art helps and promotes the safe practice of keeping fish wet. Keep Fish Wet
