Rodeo and hard work have been a big factor in my life. I started riding calves when I was 6 years old. I was 13 when I rode my first full grown bull. I was a member of Jr Rodeo and High School Rodeo Association. I later joined the InterMountain Pro Rodeo Association. I also team roped with my brother Cory. I remember being in a cramped car with my other rodeo buddies and traveling from one rodeo to the next. Winning awards and getting bucked off went hand in hand.
Finally meet the love of my life and married Debbie in June, 1996.
I released my first album in February, 2005 Stole em Fair n Square. It is a variety of old cover tunes by Moe Bandy, George Strait, Asleep at the Wheel, Robert Earl Keen and Web Pierce. These are songs I listened to when I was traveling from rodeo to rodeo and wanted to bring life back into the old traditional country music.
My 2nd album is called "The Hill Behind the House." It is a collection of 7 origional songs from hit writers from Nashville. I have the honor of recording songs by Cal Sweat, Larry Hack, Bob Simon, Steve Clarke, Roger Cook, Jim Allison, Brent Curns, and Bill Whyte.
I returned from Nashville end of September where I recorded 2 more new songs to be included in this album when they are completed.
Just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas. Haven't had much time to be on here lately, but hope that will change once the holidays are over. Sending lots of love and hugs your way. Yee Haw and Ho Ho Ho!
I said a Christmas prayer for you Because the season's near I didn't ask for riches But for gifts so much more dear.
I asked for joyful gatherings With your family all around And for carols to inspire you With their old familiar sound. I asked for quiet moments In your heart on Christmas morn For a special time to celebrate The Savior who was born.
I asked for friends to send their best That you might know they care I asked for peace and love and hope And I know God heard my prayer peace
JESUS IS THE GIFT THAT PERFECTLY FITS EVERY HEART AND IT IS WITH HIS LOVE THAT ALL CELEBRATION STARTS,HIS LIFE LED FROM A MANGER TO A CROSS ON A HILL WHERE HE FAITHFULLY FOLLOWED HIS FATHER'S PERFECT WILL, HE FREELY LAID DOWN EVERYTHING SO THAT WE COULD LIVE AND THERE IS NO GREATER TREASURE ANYONE COULD GIVE, LIKE A SCARLET RIBBON HIS LOVE WRAPPED AROUND THE CROSS AND HE OFFERED IT TO US ALL AT THE GREATEST COST,SO EACH TIME WE GIVE WE REMEMBER WHAT HE'S DONE,AND HONOR THE PERFECT GIFT GOD'S ONE AND ONLY SON!
