Achievement | Top Alaska Fly Fishing Photographer

Well where to begin…all I can say that right here is everything I have been striving for for the past 6 years. Our vision, drive, work ethic, and relentless pursuit of finding joy and happiness in work can be seen and felt right here. This is no doubt my dream job and am pouring all my emotion and heart into it. I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity starting with the owner, Chip Ferguson, whom made this all possible. There are only a handful of moments in my 16 year career where I have had a great conversation with someone and hang up and just start weeping with wide swept emotion and happiness. This was one of those instances. I try not to be overzealous but I can’t help get super stoked about the possibility to shoot for such a great company and operation. Alaska Rainbow Lodge has given us the amazing opportunity to contribute to something very neat and special to my career.

A little backstory, I began rapport with Chip back in February of 2020 with intentions of shooting in July of 2020. Well we all know how that year went and the shoot was unfortunately postponed until July of 2021. Needless to say I have been looking forward to this shoot for a long time coming. What made this event so much more extraordinary is that I had my fishing partner/best bud and cousin to come with and participate and model for the shoot. It’s an adventure we will take with us all our lifetime! When we are sitting around the fire in the northern Michigan fall chasing kings and silvers, we will be dwelling on the many amazing stories that came from our week at Alaska Rainbow Lodge.

Alaska Rainbow Lodge is exactly that…an every day adventure completely different from the previous day. Alaska Rainbow Lodge is world-class…period. Hopefully this video does the lodge justice although it’s best to be experienced and not sought vicariously. Many thanks goes out to Chip and Amanda, the expert guides, the hospitable staff and cooks and the amazing bush pilots! You guys are simply the best! A very special thanks to my wife for all her support and allowing me to focus on my passion and craft and always contributing in every way. Thanks to my amazing daughters as well for letting their daddy run around with the grizzlies! There is of course a long list of people in my life that have always supported us and lifted us up and have given us the motivation to pursue our passions. We look forward to the next great Alaskan fishing adventure!
