ABOUT ME
I am a 27 year old farmer’s daughter with a Bass fishing
addiction. There is nothing I would rather be doing than
wetting a line in my local river or any body of water for that
matter. My husband and I grow peanuts, corn silage and
gourds in Newberry Florida.

OBJECTIVE
I am looking for a company I can represent and promote in exchange for financial support
of my tournament expenses. This or these companies will benefit from my many miles
traveled on the road and my contact with hundreds of future customers. I want to
promote a company that I can believe in and that will promote and believe in me.

EMPLOYMENT
I am currently employed at:
Scoggins Chevrolet and Buick in
Chiefland, Fl
1424 North Young Blvd ( hwy 19/27)
Chiefland, FL 32626
My position there is Warranty Advisor/
Service Consultant in the Service Department. I
enjoy working with the customers to fix their
vehicles. My positive attitude and high energy
personality help me to keep my customers calm
and happy while the repairs are done. Most
customers are not happy when they walk though
our doors but I put on a big smile and make sure
they know that we have their best interest at heart.
I may not be a salesman, but I sell confidence and trust in our shop to every customer I
see.
~My supervisor is Vernon Luckey and our number is
(352)493-4263

I also Waitress at a local Steak house part time and grow hard shelled gourds.
MARKETING EXPERIENCE

EQUIPMENT
-My tow vehicle is a 2003 GMC 2500HD Extended Cab
4x4. It has 3 inches of lift and 20 inch wheels with
oversized tires.
-My Boat is an 86 Winner Tournament Bass boat. I
restored this 18’3 jewel with a 150 horse Mariner this year
in my yard. I had it re-clear coated and then I installed
new seats, gauges, diamond plate trim pieces, padding,
carpet, hydraulic steering and a 70 pound thrust trolling
motor. The vinyl stickers on the side say “ Bass Barbie”
that’s a nickname I have picked up on the Suwannee
River.

EXPOSURE
Wrapping or Logos on my truck would be a great advertising
opportunity
-I drive 50 miles a day to and from work in North Central
Florida
-5 days a week at work my truck is exposed on hwy 19 in
Chiefland, FL for 9.5 hours every day.
-I will drive an estimated 15,000 miles on the
tournament trail in 2010 if sponsored.
Wrapping or Logos on my boat would be exposed
- 2 to 3 days a week in transit to and at my work 9.5
hours per day
- on the Suwannee river in North central Florida 2 to 3
days a week
Logos on my fishing shirts and on casual apparel would be
exposed
-2 to 3 days a week on the Suwannee River
-all practice days and during tournaments.
The opportunity of verbal exposure is endless
-I work with the public daily
-I have a very welcoming personality and talk to people with ease
-Being a Woman in Bass fishing attracts extra attention and will get your company
extra exposure.
