How did you get started in rodeo?
Both of my parents rodeod, so I was raised around it all of my life.
What most appeals to you about the sport?
From a competition stand point it is one of toughest sports around, and your competing against yourself as an individual.
What types of things to you enjoy doing away from rodeo?
I enjoy working cattle, hunting, fishing, raising goats, and working at Durant Stockyards.
What is your most memorable rodeo experience?
Probably when I won Nationals in the goat tying when I was in junior high, but I'm planning on changing that when I go to Casper this week!
What are your plans after graduation from college?
I'm getting married as soon as I get done with school and I plan to pursue rodeo, and to get a real job.
