The wilderness of Northern Michigan is where Greg was raised and consequently discovered his love and passion for the outdoors. His grandfather was responsible for introducing him to the sport of fishing and hunting at a young age, and those sacred traditions have only grown and developed since that first cast of a rod and first release of a bowstring. He feels incredibly blessed and fortunate to have been raised amongst such fabled waters as the Au Sable, Manistee, Jordan, Pere Marquette, and Boardman just to name a few; but it wasn’t until he and his wife, April, moved to Colorado in 2007 that he found his true passion in fly fishing.

For Greg, fly fishing is so much more than just simply fishing. It’s the adventure it leads you on, the amazing people you meet and share this common passion with, the stories told for years to come, the beauty and simplicity of just being out in God’s Creation, and the honor and responsibility of passing it on to the next generation.

Fly fishing has taken Greg all over the world into some of the most beautiful places on the planet. He has made friends wherever he’s gone and to him, that’s what truly keeps him returning to these places as much as the fish and rivers by themselves. While he has certainly loved every place he has fished, there’s still something about remote creeks in the Rocky Mountain west full of native trout that holds a very special place in his heart.

When he’s not fly fishing, Greg is usually trying to convince his wife to go fishing. It’s not uncommon to see Greg, April, and their adventurous black lab, Hoyt, casting flies on a remote Colorado creek on any given summer day.

He guides trips in Colorado, including Rocky Mountain National Park, and hosts multi-day specialty trips throughout the state and beyond. Greg is also a passionate writer and photographer and has been published in fly fishing publications over the years.

I feel truly honored to be a part of the CFB family, and to be affiliated with one of the finest fly rod manufacturers in the world. Quality is something sought after by most every angling guide when choosing a fly rod; I'm certainly no exception there. At CF Burkheimer Fly Rods, a premium product of the highest quality is the standard, because it's the end-result and passion of some of the highest quality people in the industry. I'm proud to represent those standards of quality and excellence, and share the same passion, every time I'm on the water.
