Deep in the Sierra Ancha mountains, Sean’s dad introduced him to flyfishing at the age of ten. He was hooked and his dad eagerly handed down an Al Ellis 4 weight glass rod rigged with a Pflueger 1492. Much of his childhood was spent in the in the mountains wading the streams casting Western Coachmans and Royal Wulffs to hungry wild rainbows.

About the same time he picked up a fly rod, Sean also began quail hunting over a German Shorthair and pursuing big game. His father would take him out of school for extended trips to the mountains and his supportive teachers would always say “You will teach him more about life than we ever will”.

Now married to his high school sweetheart with three children and a busy real estate career, Sean’s time away is spent in the remote backcountry of the southwest following his bird dogs after Mearns and Scaled quail, chasing large trout and trophy big game.

Desert Sportsman is pleased to have Sean join our team as a field editor. Sean will review the latest and greatest products from our top brands and provide fishing and hunting reports from across the west.
