Ironically, it was back at the Prince William County Fair a couple of years after my first entry that I got hurt the worst.

I snuck in a couple of days ago, but this is my first entry into the buildings.

Once out of the Marine Corps, I continued to ride bulls and joined the Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association and kept riding professionally until my wife, Angela, and I had our son Tanner.

That bull was out to get you. After tossing you off, he would do whatever he could to get at you, stomping you if he could.

I was hooked. It was something I loved.

We put a new twist on it at the Dodge County Fair.
