Entertainment! It is not what I do. It is who I am. It is awesome to wake up every morning and love your job, or at least that’s what some people call it. I say it is great to get up every day and be myself. I don’t have to hide behind makeup and put on an act, I just get to be me. It’s an honor for me to entertain families; after all it seems in America we are losing sight of “Family.” That’s why I love the sport of Rodeo. It is a family sport.

Are you tough enough? Rodeoing is a tough business… and so is fighting breast cancer. I have seen many friends and family that have had to battle this terrible disease. For that reason I team up with Wrangler Jeans to make people aware of the impact breast cancer has on all of us. Join Punkintown, Wrangler Jeans and rodeos across America in the “Tough Enough To Wear Pink Campaign.”
