Tie-Down Roping World Champion “This is a blessing

to be the world champion. Thank you to God. I give all the credit to him. He surrounded me with a lot of great people since I was a little kid. I didn’t have much growing up, and Stran (Smith, 2008 tie-down roping world champion) went down to Brazil and found me down there and watched me and brought me here. Stran taught me how to rope here, and he taught me almost everything about roping here (in the PRCA).”
