People I Would Like to Thank for My Success

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16

Jesus Christ - for giving me the ability to be the best calf roper I can be, because without Jesus, none of this would be possible.

My Wife, Carie, for always being there through thick and thin.

Matt Rampey for being the best friend a person could have.

Keith Rampey for helping keep my horses working, all the practice calves and horses I could get on, and helping me with my roping and life in general.

Randy White for showing me the in's and out's of roping calves and for being a friend as well as a father.

Walt White for showing me how to win, for being my sparing partner in the practice pen, and for being a brother to me.

Walter White for driving me all those miles to the junior rodeos and pushing me to be a better roper and being the best grandpa in the world.

Bettye White for the support in my roping, keeping me well fed, and making sure all my clothes were cleaned.

Laura Nell Ledford for being the mom that any son could talk to and being behind me in my roping and life.

Gene Fleisner for showing his secrets of success in business and in life, for being there for me as a father figure, and all the support he has given me.

Rita Fleisner for introducing me to my wife, for supporting me in my rodeoing, and for being there to talk to with life's questions.

Marty Brock for being the best preacher I know, for giving me great support in and out of the arena, and for telling me where to find my favorite horse, "Dollar Bill."
