At Trash Panda Decals we do “Pro Staff” a little different. When the idea for TPD started brewing in my mind it was my closest friends I shared those thoughts with. We are all anglers, specifically kayak anglers, and I continue to be humbled by their support. Our Promotional Staff support and believe in the TPD brand and it’s customers. They aren’t just here to see their names on a list.
The team is set for 2026 but we will take applications to be considered at the end of the year for 2027. You can apply by clicking here: https://trashpandadecals.com/team-app/

I have been a kayak angler for 32 years on just about every kind of water you can imagine. In 2020 I decided to start filming my various adventures.

In her first full season she earned a first-place finish, two third-place finishes, and placed top eight overall, earning a coveted spot on the WTBY State Championship Team.
