Chinook & I (2007)
     I was born and raised in the small ranching community of Collbran, Colorado ranching cattle.  Being raised around livestock helped me develop a sense of "savvy" for livestock.

In high school I participated and lettered in football, basketball and track. After several endeavors I decided on a career in law enforcement in 1997 and continued until January of 2010 when I changed careers and started my own business of starting colts and working with problem horses.
   
In 1998 I tried my hand at bullfighting and became "hooked". After attending a couple of bullfighting schools, I joined the Colorado Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) and participated in many freestyle bullfighting events.

After just missing to qualify for the CPRA finals in 1999 I regrouped for 2000.  With the support of my wife and determination to serve the Lord and just have fun, I became the CPRA Year-End and Finals Freestyle Bullfighting Champion. 
   
In 2001 I was chosen to work the CPRA Finals and succeeded in obtaining my Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) card. 
   
I try to serve my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in all things. 

Bullfighting is a passion of mine and I'm truly blessed to be able to do it.  I enjoy everything that rodeo offers including the trials and tribulations of which there is no shortage to be sure of.  I cherish the memories and friendships obtained and look forward to what lies ahead.

God Bless,
Justin
