Summary
I am a youth competitor from Southeast Kansas who competes in barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, breakaway roping, and cutting. I am actively involved in my family's cattle and horse operation, where I help manage horse daily care, livestock, ad breeding decisions. Through both competition and ranch work I have developed a strong horsemanship, work ethic, and a commitment to continual improvement in and out of the arena.
