ANDY MILL
Andy Mill’s plethoric career has had deep traction as an athlete, broadcaster, angler, and author. An elite alpine downhill ski racer, Mill was one of the best in the United States from 1974-1981. For his 1976 Olympic heroics, where Mill placed 6th while skiing on a severely injured ankle, he was awarded the “Olympic Spirit Award”; in 1993, he was inducted into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame. Mill enjoyed a 20-year broadcasting career, covering two Olympics and hundreds of network specials, including 81 fishing shows from around the world. Personally, Mill holds his fishing accomplishments close to his heart. His success is profound, winning more invitational fly tarpon tournaments than anyone in history, including 5 Gold Cups. He is only one of two people to have won a tarpon, bonefish, and permit tournament on fly. In conjunction with his award-winning book, A Passion for Tarpon, and being a trustee of the International Game Fish Association, he has found himself as one of fly fishing’s leading authorities.
JAY BEYER
Jay Beyer never planned on being a photographer. He didn’t go to a fancy photo school and he didn’t study under an artistic mentor. He picked up a camera one day and started taking it on trips. It didn’t take long, and his photo business was keeping him so busy he had to quit pounding nails and just shoot photos. Now, he travels the world capturing stunning imagery of skiers, snowboarders, hunters, bikers, climbers, runners, and fly fisherman doing what they love. When he’s home he spends as much time as he can with his amazingly understanding wife and overly energetic son who are the fuel behind his motivation. Jay’s previous contribution to Strung (“Of Secret Tapes and Sockeye Lakes”) appeared in Volume 3, Issue 3.
