About Me

Allen fly fishing at night

I’m a husband and father of two adult sons who frequently out hunt, out hike, and out fish me. 

 

By day I run an advertising agency located in my home state of Michigan where I enjoy chasing whitetail, trout, and birds. Beyond Michigan you'll often find me roaming the backcountry of Montana, Colorado, Idaho, or Wyoming. 

 

I was a founding member and co-chair of the Michigan Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers and currently serve as Vice President for Pere Marquette Trout Unlimited. I am an active member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America and participate with the Michigan Outdoor Writers Association.

​

I'm honored to be an Editor at Large and regular contributor to Strung Sporting Journal, and pen a quarterly feature for Michigan Out-of-Doors Magazine. My writing has also been published in a number of other sporting publications including Fly Fisher, Fly Fusion, Upland Almanac, Solace, and Backcountry Journal.  You can find my recently released book, Outside in Shorts – an award-winning collection of 29 short essays – here.

​

I love great food, great beer, and great wine, sometimes in moderation, sometimes not. More than anything I love the outdoors. I love the smells, the sounds, the sights. Since I was a little boy fishing with my dad, pitching a pup tent in the backyard, and unwrapping pocketknives for Christmas I’ve been drawn to all things wild.
