Hey y'all!  My name is Joshua Williams.  I live in Virginia with my wife Lisa, our beautiful little Emma Jo, and our three labs.  I joined the Army after high school and served as an Infantry automatic rifleman and squad leader, during which  I was deployed to Iraq for 13 months.  After I came back to Ft. Hood, Texas, I was involved in a major accident.  A car pulled out in front of my motorcycle, and among other injuries, I lost my right arm.  I was sent to Walter Reed for treatment and rehab.  While there, I was introduced to Ed Nicholson , the president and founder of Project Healing Waters, and John Bass, a regional coordinator of Project Healing Waters.  It was through them that I developed a passion for fly fishing.  By teaching me how to fly fish, they introduced me to a new way of finding peace and tranquility.  Fly fishing does more for me than any medicine on the market!  I became an avid fly fisherman through Project Healing Waters and the wonderful comaraderie that comes with it.  There's nothing like catching a wild trout on a fly that I've tied.  I began tying flies in 2008 and have become obsessed!  Basically, if I'm hunting, fly fishing, or tying flies, I'm happy! God Bless!
