MIKE CHAFFIN
Sweetwater, Oklahoma
A native of Oklahoma, Mike is a life long outdoors enthusiast, who enjoys all types of fishing. As a father of 4, he’s enjoyed sharing his love for fishing with his children, grandchildren, and several foster children that have been welcomed into the Chaffin home over the years.
Having served as a pastor for over 40 years, Mike is now retired. Though he is frequently investing time and effort in church sponsored outreach projects, he is intentional about reserving time to pursue his passion for wetting a hook in a favorite pond, lake, or stream.
