CONROE, TX - (January 00, 2010) - TIREMAX of North America, known for its upscale tire and wheel stores, today announced its latest sponsorship deal with FLW Outdoors angler and Bassmaster Tour Pro Sean Hoernke.

“We are proud to have a world-class angler represent us on the water,” said Christopher Wilkerson, president of TREMAX of North America. “We’re equally excited to share his knowledge in the world of competitive fishing. We know this is going to be a successful season for us, with Sean’s credentials he’ll take our program to the next level.”

As part of the sponsorship, Hoernke will fish on the FLW Tour, PAA Tournament Series and Bassmaster Southern Opens.

“I’m thrilled to be part of the TIREMAX team,” explained pro Sean Hoernke. “I love to fish, and I’m always trying to achieve more in this sport. Working with the TIREMAX team will only add to my determination, passion and energy to be the best angler on the water.”

For the past eight years, Hoernke has competed at the top level of the sport of professional bass fishing. Upon graduation from Texas A&M University with a business degree, Hoernke set out to qualify for both the Bassmaster & FLW Tours. In his very first year out he qualified to compete on the Bassmaster Tour and has steadily improved his game to multiple national wins. This was not an overnight dream for the young pro. He cultivated a broad base of talents and skills through total dedication since he was 15-years old. Countless hours on the lake and in the classroom made it possible to be successful on the national tours.

Highlights of his wins include:

2008 Winner FLW Tour Lake Norman -- 2006 Winner FLW Series Lewis Smith Lake

17 Top Ten Finishes in FLW Competition -- 2005 Bassmaster Open Winner Red River
