New MSSA Associate Executive Director

Press Release: March 10, 2008

 

PASADENA, MD – The Maryland Saltwater Sportfishermen’s Association, Inc. (MSSA) is pleased to announce Dave Smith as our new Associate Executive Director. Dave hails from Montana where he received his B.A. in Political Science from The University of Montana and has been involved in state and federal politics for several years.

 

In 2005 Dave worked as a legislative intern for the law firm of Browning, Kaleczyc, Berry and Hoven during the Montana Legislative Session where he fell in love with politics. Following his dream he decided to load up the car and head to Washington, I know what you are thinking, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.”

 

While he didn’t arrive as a Senator, he quickly worked his way through the trenches of Capitol Hill starting as a Legislative Intern for Senator Burns, moving onto Staff Assistant for the Senate Chief Counsel for Employment and most recently with U.S. Senator Jon Tester as Executive Aide to the Chief of Staff. While his career in D.C. was wonderful, he and his wife decided it was time to start a family and look for a career closer to home in Towson.

 

“I am very excited to start working with Steve, Rich and the rest of the board in continuing MSSA’s history of hard work and passion for Maryland’s sport fishermen. I believe we are a valuable asset not only to the recreational boaters, sport fishermen, but to the state of Maryland and the environment.” 

 

Dave brings with him a great background and personality to the MSSA that will expand and enhance MSSA’s mission.

 

Please feel free to contact Dave anytime at the office between 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.
