Hello there! I'm Andrew Ellis—a multifaceted guide with a passion for learning and exploration. My journey has led me through various roles as a writer, angler, personal trainer, designer, filmmaker, and chef. Nowadays, I spend most of my time fly fishing, trying local breweries, and learning all that I can about the Catskills.

In my younger days, I hit the road fairly hard with prolonged stops in Cambodia, France, and Chile. Along the way, I studied a**loads of languages (all of which I’m terrible at), some meditation here and there, and trying all the bars and restaurants I could get my hands on (or mouth around).

Educational experiences include an MFA from MassArt and a BA in linguistics from UMass Amherst. Further credentials include NASM Personal Trainer Certification and NYSDEC Licensed Fishing Guide. In short, I continue to embrace my love for new knowledge and skills and am always eager to share my enthusiasm with others.
