It has begun! For those of you who watched the Anaheim event this weekend on CBS Sports Network, you may have noticed my bulls and I were not in attendance. Plans changed, but the bulls are now on their way to Portland and then Sacramento. My son John and my truck driver Chad are on the road as we speak.

John is really excited to be back on the road, and I am excited to have him on the road again. John and my eldest daughter Lacey were the ones who started hauling our bulls, and it's great when they get the opportunity to get back at it. I can truly say that I am so proud to have my kids be with my bulls. For us, this is a family business and sport.

We are really looking forward to kicking off our 2012 season on the West Coast. I have over 22 bulls that will be at the two events, and they are ready to buck. Not only are the bulls ready to be back at the events, but I am as well. I'm looking forward to being back in the PBR atmosphere. There is nothing better than watching my bulls buck and watching my buddies ride. I really enjoy being at events and spending time with some of my great friends.

I hope to see everyone in Portland and then Sacramento.

Before the event each day, you can see me at the Cooper Tires booth, and I'll also be at the PBR's "ALL AXXESS" pre-event party, so please stop by and say hello.
