Bio:



I am 34 years of age, married to Heather and have three (3) daughters; Ariana (4) Timarya (2), Isabel (1).  I currently am employed by the State of New Jersey as an MIS (management information systems) Technician.  I also have begun taking classes to become an ordained minister.  My Volunteer work includes running a local Youth group of teens from ages 11-18, mentoring and counseling people with issues from substance abuse to domestic violence and many other various issues.



Angling Sponsorship Objectives:



It is my goal to establish a close relationship with companies of products I believe in, for the intent and purpose of promoting said products and providing those companies with information as to what I believe may improve the products as well as what other anglers may state about the products.



Promotional Opportunities:



I believe I present a unique opportunity for your company to have your products promoted.  I am currently in the process of producing a bi-monthly online fishing show (In Search of Large Mouth with Pretjah - http://www.insearchoflargemouth.com).  Your company will have their logo displayed and linked from the In Search of Large Mouth website.  Also your company's products will be prominently used and discussed on different episodes.  Your company will also be allotted a 30 second "commercial" that displays during every episode.  Launch date for the first episode is expected to be first week in April of 2008.



I will also make available logo placement on fishing and tournament jerseys, hats, clothing, and accessories.



I will also make available logo placement on my boats and vehicles.



I am also willing to promote at shows, seminars, expos and other company functions.

I like what you have to offer very much, I like your back ground and your goals 

What we need to get in here is numbers of viewers, how many folks will be seeing your show, how many counties will see it, will it be broadcast world wide on the internet? Try to evaluate this and get those numbers in there and I think you will have a good one.

The tv show definitely gives you leverage!!!  I'd focus on the details on promoting that, intently!!

Run with it.

Your bio is strong.  My son owned a bait and tackle shop and sponsored a local tournament guy.  When we would give him a letter of introduction to other prospective sponsors, they would tell us that they appreciated us leading off with a strong bio that included family and volunteer work. 

One prospective sponsor called and told us, they felt, that if someone was family oriented, they would be very pro-active in promoting their products.  One manufacturer said they felt, "if things are in order on the home front, an individual could be more effective promoting outside the home."  I thought that made an awful lot of sense.

Good luck, brother!

Looks pretty to me Tim!

I've thought about making one sometime just for kicks.
