Biography and Background

I am 30 y/o and I have been fishing since I was 6 for bass. I have 3 daughters that love to fish. The majority of my employment was with C & L Motor Freight, INC for almost 10 years.  I also have sales experience; I sold shoes in a major chain store for 2 years also. My experience in the industry gave me the opportunity to join the work force of the nations third largest trucking company, U.S. Xpress Enterprises, INC.  My background in the trucking industry and sales will help with the promotion of your product line and services to the general public and dealers alike.

Fishing Experience

As I stated earlier, I have basically been fishing for bass for nearly 22 years. I have my own boat and fish Lake Guntersville exclusively. The Tennessee River chain is my home water, but I have the Coosa River in my backyard also.  I have 7 years of  tournament experience, beginning with wildcat and local day tournaments on the Tenn. River System.

Business Experience

I have been in the trucking industry for over 11 years.  In that time frame I have set up accounts with some of the largest load brokerage firms in the United States.  My new line of work in the industry puts the same skills to the test, in a different aspect.  The skills I use everyday with vendors that service our company, will also be the vehicle to move your product and services to the general public and vendors alike.

What I Can Do For You

I can get your company name out to people that want to buy products that work, the weekend warrior that doesn't get on the water everyday. I will endorse your product to the fullest, if a speaking engagement is required; I have experience speaking to large groups. Your company name and website will be available to everyone that reads my fishing reports, as well as other message boards were your advertisement will be available. I will put your company name and website in each of my signatures on every forum I visit. I have over 30,000 posts on forums that have very high traffic numbers.  If a person searches for a topic and I have replied to it, they will see the advertisement.

Who Will See Your Advertisement

If I am not fishing a tournament, I am usually on the water. With some of the best bass fishing in the southeast, your company will be exposed to anglers from all over the Northeast Alabama area. Not only local anglers, but I do see alot of out of state angler who want to know what is producing fish. On a typical outing, I talk to as many as 15-20 anglers a day, sometimes more. I enjoy the sport of bass fishing, along with promoting fishing. My boat and tow vehicle will be seen by motorist on the major Alabama Highway I live on. I would also put a patch on my tournament shirt or on my other apparel as long as it is approved by your company. 

Thank you for your time, I look forward to working with your company.  Let's make 2009 a great year.
