J.T., My desire to get sponsored comes from years and years of hard work and sacrifice. As a freshman in high school I was asked by my counselor, what I wanted to do after school. Without hesitation, I looked him dead in the eye and responded I want to be a professional bass fisherman! I'll never forget that look on his face; he quickly changed the topic by asking me if I had a backup plan in mind. Since that day, I have done all I could to create a back up plan. In a previous post (Advice Please) I've listed some of my recent accomplishments. I believe whole heartedly, that a company would be silly not to see worth in someone with my credentials. In no way do I want to paint a picture of myself as better than everyone else, I'm just a former kid who listened to the advice of past pro's and feel like now is the time to make my move. P.S. I currently have 0 sponsors. Jarod

Sam, Thanks for the response, our club is a school club which I teach after school. I'm currently scrolling through the various post as you requested. Thanks Again, Jarod

I finally made it guys; I just completed my Masters in Education and am now ready to fish at the next level. I was looking for a little advice before I add my name to the list of anglers seeking sponsorship. Listed in order is a timeline of what I have done up to this point. 1. Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Army as a Sergeant, 4 years. 2. Completion of Associates Degree from The University of Maryland 3. Completion of Bachelors Degree from CSU Stanislaus in Physical Education 4. Completion of teaching credential from National University. 5. Currently a fifth year Physical Education teacher grades 6, 7, and 8. 6. Founded a school fishing club, currently going on our fourth year. Last year, one of our members was featured in Bassmaster Magazine (July). 7. Weekly fishing Columnist for six local newspapers, currently on my second year. 8. Completion of Masters Degree from National University in Education. 9. Current member of FLW, B.A.S.S., and Anglers Choice. I've had other odd jobs while in college, mostly labor related jobs that I'm not sure would be of any significance. I'm hoping to put together a professional resume and was just looking for a little feedback. I've been fishing all of my life and like most always wanted to some day fish at the professional level.
