In addition to my professional pursuits, I am thrilled to introduce Bassfinity, a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children in the foster care system through the art of fishing. Founded on the belief that every child deserves a chance to experience the joy and tranquility of angling, Bassfinity aims to teach fishing skills that foster patience, resilience, and a deep appreciation for nature.

Our mission is to provide foster children with meaningful outdoor experiences that promote personal growth and a lifelong love for the outdoors. By partnering with local communities and fishing enthusiasts, we create safe and supportive environments where these children can learn, play, and thrive.

• Fishing Excursions: Regularly organized fishing trips that offer hands-on learning experiences.
• Mentorship Programs: Each child is paired with a mentor who provides guidance and support.
• Educational Workshops cover everything from fishing techniques to aquatic ecology and conservation.

I am also a culinary enthusiast, contributing to the cloud-native community cookbook with my own and others' delightful recipes.

Looking forward to the opportunity to connect and share my knowledge and experiences. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me.

Best Regards,
Mark Jackson
