I started my bullfighting career in 1994. Before I joined the PRCA in 1997, I found myself more often as "the man in the can" making people laugh as the barrel man. During this time, I tried to use my experiences as a professional motocross racer to build up funny motorcycle acts for the rodeo world.
I told myself, that somehow it had to be possible to jump a Dodge pick up truck and a Bloomer trailer with my dirt bike.

In 1998 "the Wild Child" was born and since then, I am performing one of the most spectacular acts in professional rodeo. Late into 1999 I was lucky enough to have met Cotton Rosser, a stock contractor from Marysville California, known as the King of rodeo. As I teamed up with Cotton and his Flying U Rodeo Company, I was invited to perform at some of the biggest rodeos in north America and Canada during the 2000 season. Such as the Calgary Stampede, the Red Bluff Round up and the California Sate Fair, just to name a few.

Since those ealy days as 'The Wild Child' I have performed in front of more than
1 Million spectators, on national and international TV, and last but certainly not least; the Wrangler National Finals Rodoe in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Wild Child's personal Stuff.

I was born and raised in Payson Utah, where I went to and graduated from high school. My father Lynn who is a team roper and my mother Penny an ex- rodeo queen, gave my first horse to me when I was 4 years old. By the age of 10 I started riding motorcycles. Within two years I entered my first motorcycle race. Six years later I was number one in the State of Utah in professional motor cross. In 1992 I started the business of "Downhill Cyclery" a mountain bike retail and service shop in Payson.
I'm married to Rebecca, who is a published author and dressage instructor at home and my traveling partner on the rodeo circuit.
