As a kid, my favorite toy was an old worn out rope. 1 dragged that old rope around for years unaware that a rope would be the dominant factor in my future life-style.
After moving to Bandera, Texas, the “Cowboy Capital of the World,� in the mid 80's, I trained horses, worked on several of the local dude ranches and shod horses for a living. But trick roping and horses were still my first loves. With the natural ability the good Lord gave me and practice, practice, practice, I've developed my skills in trick roping and entertaining on horseback.
I regard myself as an all around cowboy, riding, roping, the high top boots, big hat and fancy horse. With my style of entertainment I like to take audiences a few steps back in time to images of cowboy heroes such as Tom Mix, Roy Rogers and Will Rogers.
I’ve had the good fortune to perform all over Texas and in Arizona, Nevada, California, New Zealand, England and Kuwait.
The romance of the American Cowboy, his horse and his rope tricks are alive and well! I have performed in parades, night clubs, PRCA Rodeos, and at fund-raisers, county fairs, political functions, group meetings and various festivals.
To me, there is no audience too young or too old, too small or too large to enjoy the excitement and entertainment of trick roping and innovative horse mounts.
