Howdy!
You can read more in “On Being a Dude Rancher”, but Selina asked me for a brief bio.

My dude ranching career began when I was 14 years old.  I started out washing pots and pans and cutting hay my first year.  We worked twelve to fourteen hour days, I don’t think we had a day off, and $125 at the end of the month – it was heaven!

During college my summers were spent wrangling at C Lazy U Guest Ranch in Granby, Colorado. After receiving a degree from Colorado State University, I ventured out into the real world.

After a few years of the real world I decided to do some graduate school work at the University of Wyoming.  While in graduate school I had thoughts and aspirations of running General Motors or IBM.  However, a phone call from C Lazy U to see if I would be interested in managing the operation changed that.  I initially said no, but after a night of sleep I gained my senses and applied to C Lazy U.  Joanie & I raised our family there for 15 years.

After 15 years I was ready to try something new.  After trying a few different avenues I was fortunate enough to return to dude ranching here at the Home Ranch.  I have been at the ranch since 2001.

I hope to retire here, but that’s quite a ways down the road yet.
