Cowboys not Eggheads

Welcome to Cowboys not Eggheads where I visit with guests about topics like loyalty, honesty, authenticity, courage, integrity and resilience.

I come from a cowboy raised and egghead educated background. I’ve saddled and rode a horse, been on multiple cattle drives, fed cattle in 40 below temperatures, worked cattle in a corral, put up hay in 100 degree temperatures, fixed fence …. you name it …

I attended high school at a prestigious private school. I got a College degree.

I spent 31 years as a national political operative, owned my own business and spent 13 years as a police officer.

My interesting life has lead me to the conclusion that the world is made up of cowboys and eggheads. I believe that we should have a few more cowboys than eggheads. Get ready, because you’re about to be pulled into the story of my life……
