Q: To take us all the way back, what was it like growing up a team roper in small-town Iowa? I had a great family, and we had a lot of horses.

2x World Champion Team Roping Heeler, 3x WNFR Average Champion.

For Iowa, we had the coolest little horse ranch around there. We had one cell phone between us, and they charged by the minute back then, so it was for emergencies only. Was that your first big win? A: Yes, it was my first major title. Those were good times. Q: Did you graduate from college? A: No. I lacked 12—13 hours to graduate. But I left there not really wanting a back-up plan.

Q: Name your NFR years and partners. A: I had a double-wide trailer house and a portable arena in Durant that I bought on the chip-away plan when I had the chance to rope with Nick Sartain in I told him I was willing to run myself to zero dollars and go bankrupt to make the Finals one time. Luke taught me a lot about treating team roping like a business.
