RF: What’s a topic
passionate about?
JC: Heeling
you’re
RF: What are your biggest pet
peeves?
JC: Not shutting gates after
someone goes through them, not
holding true to your word, and lying.
RF: Name a couple of your
favorite music artists.
JC: I like George Strait, Jason
Alden, and Lil Wayne.
RF: You are clearly a winner - how
do you do it?
JC: I think the way you win is by
literally never thinking you are good
enough and always trying to get
better at what you do. Also, you win
by learning to control your reactions
in high pressure situations.
RF: What is the biggest life lesson
you have learned?
JC: The biggest life lesson I have
learned is not to worry so much
about everything. It can all vanish
in a matter of seconds so enjoy
the moment, be positive, and don't
sweat it.
RF: Life is short, what is the
biggest thing you would like to
leave behind when it's your time?
JC: I want to be remembered as a
guy who lived my life with all I had
and who roped for the love of the
game.
RF: Tell us a 4th of July rodeo run
story you’ll never forget.
JC: One 4th of July story I'll never
forget is the time I had Bubba Strait
down $25,000 playing cards in
between rodeos. I’m still waiting to
cash his IOU.
The biggest life lesson I have learned is not to
worry so much about everything. It can all vanish
in a matter of seconds so enjoy the moment, be
positive, and don't sweat it."

RF: Tell us about your biggest
win in your career thus far.
JC: My biggest win was last year
when I won the regular season, the
NFR average and the world title in
the same year. That's something
I always dreamed of doing, and
actually getting to experience it was
one of the only times in my life that I
was proud of myself and thought I'd
done good.
