Chris’s interest in Spey casting took off, by necessity, in 2017 when he was hired as a Design Engineer at RIO Products in Idaho Falls. He found myself working for the most recognizable and innovative Spey brand in the world and had never held a two-handed rod! What started as a crash course in unfamiliar equipment and techniques has grown into an obsession. Now the Director of Product Development at RIO, he enjoys every moment spent designing new Spey products, and especially the moments spent testing them out on the water or introducing new Spey casters to the sport.
