I
started professionally training horses at the age of 16. After
graduating from high school, I moved to Huntsville and attended Sam
Houston State University. While in college, I competed in NIRA rodeos
and open rodeos in roping events and was a member of the Delta Tau Alpha
National Agriculture Honor Society. After earning my Master’s Degree, I
spent some time working on ranches breaking horses, training, showing
and breeding horses. I worked for the
Texas Department of Criminal Justice where I spent 16 years managing 150
broodmares, 9 stallions and breaking colts. In my spare time I enjoy
spending time with my wife and two boys, Tye and Milo.
