I’ve fished tournaments for 10+ years now, but am just now getting to the point where I am seriously pursuing a professional bass fishing career. I have a B.A. in English and have extensive writing and small business experience. I started fishing B.A.S.S. Jr. Bassmaster tournaments(qualified for and fished the Jr. Bassmaster Classic in 2007) and have since fished the USA Bassin, FOM, and FLW BFL tournament trails. I have 7 tournament wins and nearly always place in the top 30% of the field. I have a lot of small business experience, and currently work as a business writer and marketing specialist for Fitsmallbuisness.com, a small business review website that has 500,000+ viewers per month. I have marketed businesses, designed websites, and have extensive strategic knowledge involving business practices, strategies, and services. Accomplishments: 1. 2005 Indiana Jr. B.A.S.S State Champion and Jr. Bassmaster Classic Qualifier/Competitor 2. 4 Tournament Wins on the Jr. Bassmaster Tournament Trail as well as multiple top 5 finishes (2005-2006) 3. 4 USA Bassin Tournament Wins and multiple top 5 finishes 3. Top 40 finisher in the USA BASSIN National Classic Moving forward, I am looking to fish at least 2 tournaments a month, including local club tournaments, USA Bassin, Fishers of Men, FLW BFL, and possibly B.A.S.S Opens or FLW Costa Series tournaments (with hopes of qualifying for the Elite Trails).
