Hey fellow fisherman, just wanted to introduce myself.

My name is Mark and I am from IL (NW Burbs of Chicago). I am about 3 weeks away from entering my 30's. I am a new father to identical twin boys born just this past May. My boys and my fiance are about the only things I love more than fishing itself. The birth of my children have put quite the hault to my fishing this year but I'm hoping that I can have a good fall season and then come spring be able to get back out on the water more often. I do most of my fishing in Wisconsin waters, but I do fish locally here and there.

By day, I work as a graphic designer for a contract screen printing and embroidery company. We focus mainly on athletic apparel for sporting goods dealers and promotional product vendors. In my heart I do feel I need to find my way into the fishing industry, I just haven't figured that out yet. I truly believe you are happiest doing what you love most, and I intend on getting to that point some day.

A little bit about my fishing. I dream about fishing day and night. I am constantly browsing websites and forums or reading magazines about fishing soaking up as much knowledge as I possibly can. Had I only had this same passion about my careers choices in college, I'd probably be in a better place. I primarily go for LMB and SMB with a little bit of musky fishing when I can get at it. I am fascinated with the entire fishing tackle industry from rods/reels, to lures, to plastics...and everything else that goes with it. I already have started my "bucket list" of places to bass fish, and I have a lot to accomplish.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to message me in general about anything.

Tight lines,

Mark
