Tell us a little about your champion:

My pigs name was Silver Bullet. SB actually got really really sick unexpectedly about two months before show day and it got so bad that we thought he was gonna die. When he finally got back on the mend, he started looking better than ever. They say the good ones always have a story!

First person you hugged after your win?

My best friend who came down from Oklahoma, Emma Throck.

Who is another exhibitor you admire?

I have always admired Ella Bobell and the family as a whole. The Bobells obviously knows what they’re doing and they do it so gracefully at an elite level, yet with such humble attitudes which is very respectable.

Favorite Fair Food?

My favorite fair food is probably fried pickles or ice cream.

Favorite Pump Up Song:

Get Low or Bad to the Bone
