Thank you to the Flycasters of San Jose members and board of directors for giving me the opportunity to serve you. I’m a former physician, retired in 2020 after 40 years practicing as a pediatrician and neonatologist. As a hospital-based physician I was involved in several administrative positions as medical director and chief of staff at a local hospital along with participation on state and national professional boards.
I spend most of my retired days golfing, hiking, biking, fishing and gardening. I’ve enjoyed all types of fishing but with my retirement I have more time to devote to the sport of fly fishing. I discovered Flycasters last
year and have had the opportunity to participate in numerous activities including lectures, lessons, fishouts and social events. I’ve been impressed with the welcoming spirit and willingness to support the new members in advancing the vision and mission of the organization.
I hope to be able to contribute to that spirit by participating in the board of directors and providing a perspective from a less experienced but enthusiastic fly fisherman.
