Profile:
Born and raised in SE Texas, I started fishing at a very early age with my parents and grand father on the local rivers, lakes, and ponds. After graduating from Ross S. Sterling High in 1972, I joined the United States Air Force as an Aircraft Electronic Systems Specialist where I trained and traveled the world. My love of fishing was always growing. Upon my Honorable Discharge in 1976, I returned home to Texas where my love of fishing was awakened with a new and determined vigor. My work required me to move to the Chicago area where I became a member of the Kankakee Valley Bass masters. Where I soon established my self in the local and regional tournaments, with my goal of fishing the Bass master Classic having worked my way through the Illinois Bass Federation ranks. Today I am currently a member of the Onalaska Bass Club, a Texas Federation Nation affiliated organization, having fished my way to the 6 man State Championship in the first year as a member.
My current rig consists of a 2007 Chevy Silverado LT crew cab 4X4 2500 HD diesel, A Sun Valley Inc., Apache 865 cab over truck camper, a 2007 Skeeter ZX225, all of which are a huge part of my ability to promote my sponsors as I travel the SE regional Bass Federation tournament trail. With your support I will be able to add Tournament trails of your liking to my schedule, potentially reaching the Bass master Elite series in the future, to fulfill our dreams.
Goal:
To secure mutually beneficial sponsor ship in order to increase Company sales through tournament participation and public appearances and demonstrations.
Objective:
Become a full time Professional Bass Angler, and promoter of my sponsors and their products and or services, and to preserve the outdoors for future fishermen and women of all ages.

Looks like you have all the information there - I'd suggest maybe a minor cleanup of what you already have written.  Putting myself in a potential sponsors shoes while I am reading my own usually helps me look at things from another angle.  Each blurb I write I return to again and again to see if there is another way I can communicate what is there more effectively while using fewer words.  Spell check spell check and spell check again - grammar is ohhh so important - it communicates to the sponsor you know how to in fact communicate.  Especially important for sponsors who you will not meet in person, or speak with over the phone.  Don't be afraid to be a little different from everyone else - yet look professional while doing so.

You've gone far - these things take time and are forever needing updates - I wish I had all your experience!

Thanks for the input ! I have all my life wanted to go pro and for some reason or the other I didn't?
Now that I'm retired what's to stop me? "MONEY"
By the way I spoke to Jim and he's suppose to send me a contract? I hope he does I like the sound of it.
Thanks Again
Morris

I agree with Swede..........................just needs a little appearance clean up and editing!

Looks good other than that.
