Coach Jim is an avid fly fisherman and outdoor enthusiast. He grew up fishing in Central Pennsylvania with his father and friends. He started fly fishing and tying flies at the age of 12. Jim received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Shippensburg University. Since moving to Colorado in 2008 he has explored most of its rivers and has hiked to many of its high mountain lakes in search of trout. When he is not rafting around Colorado or neighboring states, you can find him enjoying time with his 13 year old son, his family and friends, or playing songs on his guitar. He currently manages Shredder Ski’s Central Park location and co-manages Shredder Fly Fishing. He looks forward to sharing his knowledge and passion for fly fishing with you and your kids!
