However, Nate was always drawn to the family ranch and the small farming community where his closest friends were from. Those ranch roots lead him to another lifelong passion, bullfighting.
Nate was accepted into the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association) in 2010 and has won numerous competitions including:
- 2016 Bullfighters Only – Las Vegas – Reserve Champion
- 2016 Bullfighters Only – Oklahoma City PBR – Champion
- Rex Dunn Memorial Bullfight
- 2x National Western Stock Show and Rodeo Champion Freestyle Bullfighter.
Nate takes the most pride in his cowboy protection, to him it’s the most gratifying part of the job. In 2016 and 2017 Nate was selected by the top 20 bull riders to protect them at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
One of Nate’s sponsors is Otter Box and their Defender series phone case. Defender Series combines three tough layers to guard against the roughest drops, scrapes, bumps, dust and grime.
