My name is Jerry Kiesow, my wife and I live in Grafton. For the majority of my life, I was employed in the printing industry. During those years I developed and operated a stock photo business and did a little writing. After retirement, I began learning and expanding my writing and photo business. Presently, I write regular columes for The News Graphic, On Wisconsin Outdoors, and MidWest Outdoors. I also do assignment work for anyone who will read my words and/or enjoy my images.
My book, “Tales of The Peshtigo Putzer” was published in 2006. It is the accumulation of many years of writing about Putz, his family and friends for another, now defunct, outdoor publication, Wishigan Outdoors.
I conduct outdoor workshops which include fly tying, fly fishing, and digital photography. These workshops utilize the skills I have learned over several decades. Interestingly, at least for me, is that with each class I continue to learn along with the students. I enjoy doing these, because as I share some of my experiences, hopefully, I also encourage others to find ways to enjoy the outdoors properly – with respect.

Keep a good thought!
