When asked what the best part of his job is he will answer quickly “the people”. “I get to meet all types of people from all over the country and they all share the love of the sport of rodeo and bull riding. I like the fact that someone can have a bad day, or have a lot going on in their personal life, then they can come to one of our shows and no matter what is going on my goal is to make them relax, have a good time, and forget about whatever they have going on outside of the performance. Hearing people laugh and bringing them happiness is the most awesome feeling in the world. Without a doubt that is the best part of my job!”
