Me and my wife, Laura, fly fishing for trout in Montana.
My name is Drew Hoffman. I was born and raised in Appleton, WI. And yes, I am a huge Green Bay Packer fan. Bring it on Vikings fans! I love to fish, hunt, hike, and spend as much time outdoors as I can. I find that being outside refuels me and takes all of my stress away.
When I am not teaching at school, I work as a fly fishing guide. I have been guiding for almost 15 years both in Colorado and Wisconsin. I also love to travel, explore, and fish in new places. My list of places to visit just continues to get bigger and bigger.
I am married to my wife, Laura, and have the cutest little girl, Eloise. When I am at home I love to cook, go on long walks and hikes with my wife, daughter and my dog Molson. My favorite place to spend time is up at the cabin at the lake.
Family is very important to me. I come from a big extended family. We are loud, but loving and I have appreciated being surrounded by solid people in my life.
We have two beautiful children. Our oldest is named Eloise Enid. She is truly the love of our lives and we have loved every second of watching her grow and develop into our kind, but sassy little girl. This summer, we welcomed our newest addition, Mack Ryan. Our transition to two kids has been smooth and our love continues to grow for our growing family. We look forward to growing with them and being the best versions of ourselves for each of them.
This is my dog Molson. He is a good boy.
I went to college at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN and graduated with a Biology Degree and Management Studies and Biomedical Studies minors in hopes to become a doctor. After graduation, I decided against medical school and moved out to Montana and then to Colorado. My time out west teaching people how to fly fish eventually brought me back to school to become an elementary school teacher. I completed my Masters of Arts at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, MN. I have never looked back since!
