Richmond Virginia Store Manager: Robert Van Onselder
Robert Van Onselder has been with Orvis for 10 years and in the specialty retail market for over 20 years. He recently relocated from Raleigh, NC to the Richmond area. His number one priority is to ensure that every customer has a great world-class shopping experience and to earn your return business.
Robert an avid fly-fisherman and tyer, is excited about getting to know the local waters. When not in the store you will more than likely find him exploring the salt-water fly-fishing opportunities around the bay-bridge tunnel in his bay boat, hiking to some Brook trout streams in the park or chasing Smallies on the James.
Richmond Virginia Fishing Shop Manager: Tye Krueger Fly fishing and fly tying have always been a large part of my life, and from as early as I can remember, the true merit of any place I lived was based solely on its proximity to good fishing! By the time I finished college, I had lived, traveled, and fly fished all over North America. With the ink still drying on my Poultry Science degree and a budding career in the agriculture industry, I realized my deep-seated love of fly fishing and fly tying could not be contained and seized an opportunity to consult for one of the largest premier fly tying companies in the world. Years later I joined Orvis, and as Richmond’s Fishing Manager immediately embraced the opportunity to share my passion for fly fishing and its sporting traditions with the general public. Whether it’s publicly speaking to local fishing groups or in-store instruction, I’ve taken great pride in creating one of the finest education programs in the company. Ranging from simple 1 hour casting clinics to full-day beginner and advanced schools, we have something for novice and experienced anglers alike.
Also an accomplished freelance angling illustrator, Tye is best known for his realistic illustrations of fresh and saltwater game fish. Tye has art in private collections all over the US and Canada as well as several magazine publications to his credit.
