I was a fisherman during those years, mostly freshwater. Before returning to Virginia, 11 years ago, I was working as a contractor for a company who worked for Homeland Security and continued that job here in VA when I came home. Just about 6 years ago I became a professional Scouter, District Executive for the V-Da-Li District of Franklin Co and southern Bedford Co and I just retired in October of 2012. I am currently the Vice-Commander for American Legion Post 111, a Unit Commissioner with the V-Da-Li District and recently certified as a National Trainer for "Time To Teach," a classroom management system for schools.
I started with the Club over 3 years ago due to Joe Wolf who was working with me in Scouts. Joe and I have become good friends and fish together quite a bit. During my time in the Club I have served as Secretary on the Board as well as the Membership Committee Chair. Macky May helped me to catch my first Stripers at the lake and I am having a lot of fun with the club and the good people in it. One of my favorite SML fishing stories is the day that I fished with Macky and and I hauled in 14 of the 16 fish we caught that day. Macky wanted to make sure I had plenty of experience bringing them in for the first time. To date my largest striper on SML is 8 lbs / 27", but I'm ready for that citation!
