How K’s Outfitter Got Its Start…

I’ve always had a passion for fishing. As a young boy growing up in Pennsylvania, I spent countless hours on the water, casting lines and learning patience, focus, and appreciation for the outdoors. After high school, I joined the Marine Corps and traveled the world. No matter where I was—I always found time to fish. It became my way to reconnect, to breathe, to find peace in the middle of chaos.

Like many veterans, transitioning to civilian life wasn’t easy. I faced physical and mental health struggles, including PTSD. I tried a lot of ways to heal—some destructive, some that just didn’t work. Then one day, I stumbled on a YouTube video about fly fishing, and something clicked. That spark I’d carried since childhood reignited. Fly fishing gave me a way back to myself. It taught me mindfulness, patience, and presence—without judgment, just the rhythm of the river and the cast.

Now, I fish not just for the thrill of the catch, but for the peace it brings. I share my story to remind others—especially fellow veterans—that healing doesn’t always come from a clinic or a prescription. Sometimes it comes from wading into a river, feeling the current, and learning to cast again.
