Nearly 40 years ago, to escape the Midwest winters, I moved to Arizona where I eventually retired from a career in the aerospace industry. Retirement has allowed me to pursue full-time a life-long hobby and deep passion; over three hundred years of Southwest cowboy history. I’ve not just researched and studied this history, over the years I have attempted to recreate and live as much of it as has been within my skills, abilities, and resources. For several years now, my horse and faithful partner, Concho, and I have portrayed cowboy life in living history for schools and non-profits as well as civic, and corporate events. We present this history in any one of three different historically accurate personas; a 1750 Spanish Colonial Caballero (horseman and gentleman rancher), an 1850 Mexican/American vaquero (cowboy), or an 1890 American cowboy. All clothing, working gear, and horse equipment (including horse training) is correct for each period. If what Concho and I are wearing, including saddles, is not an authentic antique, it is a museum quality restoration or recreation I have either restored or recreated myself. Concho and I often portray these three individuals through one of the Arizona State Historical Society’s educational programs called “Amazing Arizonans”. We are also Arizona ambassadors and parade flag bearers for the National Day of the Cowboy. Conchos’ appearance in a performance is, of course, optional depending on location and space available. Please, tour our website and find out just a bit of what you might expect from us. The items pictured are only a sampling of the actual items you might see in a presentation. Enjoy your tour. ———————————->
