The SFVU Business Group Retains their First National Junior Pro-Staffers
SFVU President & CEO, Ian Godwin is proud to continue the traditions that inspired and motivated him in his early start in the fishing industry many years ago.
“Passing the chance forward to our next generation is what this is all about and we could not be more pleased with the caliber of our first two National Junior Pro-Staffer’s. Selected thru an extensive search and qualification process, these two young men exemplify in faith, attitude and fishing what being a pro staff for The SFVU Business Group is all about!” Hailing from Alabama is 14 year old Kophen S and from Maryland is 14 year old Johnny D. Both are accomplished anglers already with National Casting Kids championships as well as appearances in National Junior Championships and we are excited to see what the future holds for them. Welcome aboard Kophen and Johnny!
