I'm Daniel Sachs and I live in Central New Mexico. I have been building rods with bamboo for just over a year but my mind has been on it for years. My teacher has been Chuck Domenici at Charlies in Albuquerque, Wayne Cattenach's book and all the input from the people on this list. I will be an apprentice for a long time but I sure love this.

We have a small homestead where we raise alfalfa. I coach high school baseball and love fishing our small mountain streams.

Best regards to all.
