Personal Information
I was born September 26, 1962 in Texas City, TX. We moved to southeast Arkansas in 1965 where I grew up. After graduating high school I attended the University of Arkansas at Monticello for 3 ½ years. I have worked for the Pine Bluff Police Department for seven years. Prior to this I worked for Arkansas Department of Corrections for 13 ½ years. During my time with Pine Bluff Police Department, I have finished a BS in Criminal Justice.
I married my wife, Shannon, in 2004 and have an 18-year-old daughter, Ashley, from a previous marriage. I fish as many days as my wife and my job will allow, which is never enough.

I have taken courses to make me a better public speaker and have a lot of experience in speaking to the public.
Conclusion
I have experience in many areas that can benefit your products. I will work hard to get your products looked and tried by others. I will bring out their strong points and proudly tell everyone who will listen how your products help me with my fishing. Admittedly, I do not have the great tournament wins nor the extensive background some others have but I have a strong will and I do not have problems speaking with people or to groups.
I work hard to be a good, decent, and honest person and try to put forth an ethical and respectable personal image. I believe can be an asset to your company and do whatever I can to be of assistance in selling your products.
