As the granddaughter of New Hampshire fishing guides, Lisa grew up in a hunting and fishing home. At a young age, she purchased Lopstick Lodge in northern NH and became a licensed fishing and hunting guide. Shortly thereafter she met her business partner and husband, Tim Savard.

Together they grew the business, traveled and fished, and then in 2013, sold Lopstick and moved to their cabin on Rock Creek in Montana.

Today she consults for fishing and hunting operations, rents two vacation homes on Rock Creek, fishes awesome waters in the West while living in their RV, and writes about their adventures.
