How important is it to you to have won an INFR Championship? “Winning an INFR Championship is pretty important to me for a lot of reasons; one, there has been a lot of guys to qualify for the INFR and never been crowned a champion and secondly, I’ve always wanted to win it since I was a little kid.”
What is your most memorable run at the 2009 INFR? “The 3rd round because the team roping fell apart, I was the last guy up and knew all I had to do was catch.”
Who has been your biggest influence in Indian Rodeo? “Preston Williams – My roping partner, he has taught me a lot. Mainly he has taught me how to win and we have become very good friends over the years. We can call each other whenever either of us needs help and/or advice.”
What are the benefits of INFR rodeos for you? “Good money”
