My ranch life began at the age of fourteen when my dad took me to Valley Ranch in Cody, Wyoming, and I have been working on my dude ranch career ever since that vacation. At the age of seventeen I went back to Valley Ranch to their Wrangler School, and over the following 25 years, I developed a great appreciation of dude ranching and giving people the best vacation of their life. Working on ranches in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Montana I have gained a familiarity with many ranches and an great appreciation for the diversity of guests and their interests.
