GOALS

To promote the sport of Bass fishing through education, competition, conservation and fellowship!
To combine my dedication to this sport with my desire to increase awareness of Breast Cancer!
I want to “MAKE A DIFFERENCE!”

STATEMENT

My Mother is a Breast Cancer survivor! One of my wife’s and my dearest friends is now fighting the fight of her life! I have several friends that have not been as fortunate.
In January of 2013, while doing a little web surfing, I found an organization that caught my eye, PINK FISHING!
Being a competitive BASS Angler for over 35 years PF gave me the opportunity to continue with the sport that I love and perhaps also “make a difference”!
On January 17, 2013 I have the distinct honor of becoming The PINK FISHING members teams first member.
I received my membership package in the mail. I had a PF hat and a handful of decals and brochures. I started promoting and handing out my literature at every tournament and event I went to. I started to look for Breast Cancer Awareness and FISH FOR THE CURE Tournaments, events, meetings, walks and breakfasts. that I could participate in and show my support.
I started to make and custom air brush pink Awareness baits and jewelry that I gave away at events as promotional items.
I’ve always found pleasure in being artistic with digital images on the computer. I started to do PINK FISHING and Breast Cancer Awareness promotions on Facebook as well as the PF team autograph cards.
In November 2013 I received my first honor from PINK FISHING in the form of Club Member of the Month.
In January of 2014 I was honored by PINK FISHING, by being asked to join the Pro Staff.
In January of 2016 I was completely blown away by being honored again with the Pro Staff member of the year and a promotion to the Elite Pro Staff!
I now with strength of the PINK FISHING organization continue to work towards:
“REELING IN THE CURE!”
What would my Mother, my Wife, my three Daughters and everyone who knows me think of me, if I knowingly did not get involved with an organization that involves the love of my sport with the opportunity to fight this horrific disease! What would you think?
