Wyatt grew up in the heart of Pennsylvania just east of State College. Even at a young age he was fascinated by the outdoors, spending much of his time on Fishing Creek, Clinton County and other water within biking range. However, his love of the outdoors took a back seat to sports as he got older. Wyatt became an accomplished high school football player for Cumberland Valley HS and then on to play at Penn State University as an offensive lineman.
After several knee injuries, Wyatt chose to end his football career, but with his newfound free time rekindled his outdoor passion. He attained a fondness for the simple beauty and purity that is fly fishing and the attempt to fool nature. He is also an avid musician that plays anything from folk, bluegrass, to rock and of course the Grateful Dead.
