Dayton, Ohio Store Manager: Michael Kaplan
Firstly, I would like to say that I am delighted to be joining the Dayton Orvis team. I can't wait to explore the area more and to create relationships with my new
customers; I look forward to everything you have to show and teach me about my new home.
I am originally from Richmond, Va. and was raised with a love of sport and an appreciation for the outdoors. Whether it was shooting a Model 12 from a duck blind or casting
my first fly line across the still waters of the Teton River in Idaho, my father made sure to share his passions with me, thus igniting my own fervor for the outdoors. This
passion has led me to live in Montana, where I studied English at the University of Montana (another passion) and to instruct others on the art of Fly Fishing. I'm happy to
say that I have made a lot of great friends and have experienced memorable events since falling in love with the wilderness and I am excited to see what Ohio has in store
for me.
