Looks real good docav!!

Doug, looks good the only thingI might change/add is in the exposure area. Mention numbers, i.e. how many hits to your website(s) how many posts, etc. It is one thing to say your logo will be on my truck, but if that truck is in the garage all the time except on tourney day(s) vs driven all the time, etc.

I agree with Jeff!! 

Potential number of brand impressions via apparel and vehicle exposures makes the resume stronger.  Obviously every angler on here that posts a resume offers exposure via apparel and boat and tow vehicle, it's the ones who can deliver numbers, calculated precisely are those who stand out from the rest.

Sorry to pick, but watch your spelling.  Under the sponsor section, you spelled  Jkurz...........should be jkruz. Just something i picked up on, hope it helps.          I will be posting my resume very soon, cant wait for the critique, its a giant step for me.
