Today at Jimmy’s 6-11-13

I have some some good news and some bad news. Its come time to say goodbye to all of you. In the past I have left for the summer to guide on the South Fork until October. Than returned to the shop working full time for the remainder of the year. This summer I am excited to announce that I have accepted a full time position outside of the fishing industry. In my personal life my family is continuing to grow and the cost of supporting this family is increasing daily. I was presented with a very good oppertunity and through some long discussions with Jimmy and my wife I decided to not pass it up. This oppertunity is going to allow me to build a career but also spend more time with my family during the summer months fishing, camping and being outside.

Although I will be making my full time wages outside of the fly shop. I am happy to inform you that I will still be involved with the shop through educational classes we offer teaching fly tying classes and helping organize special classes with industry professionals.

So as my last post in Today at Jimmy’s, I want to say thank you to all of the customers and friends I have gotten to know over the past 7 years. I also want to say thank you to Jimmy for being the best boss I have ever had. I have learned so much from you Jimmy and working in your shop. The last 7 years will not be forgotten and I feel lucky to have been your employee and friend. Thank you Jimmy for all the advice and mentoring you have graciously offered over the years. I look forward to many more years of friendship and swapping fishing stories.
