UTE MOUNTAIN ROUNDUP SPOTLIGHTS

JODY CARPER

Rodeo Announcer

Jody spent his first 30 years in Big Spring TX, and rodeo has been a part of his life since the beginning.  He and his brother competed in all of the timed events in junior rodeo and high school rodeo.  Being a contestant wasn’t Jody’s only connection to rodeo.  He and his brother used to play “rodeo” at their house and Jody would always be the announcer.  It seemed natural for him and other noticed too.  In 1991, just out of high school, Jody was asked to announce the local high school rodeo.  That started him being hired to announce junior and armature rodeos all around Texas.  After college, Jody decided to chase his calf roping dreams and he quickly became a PRCA card holder. 


 He competed in pro rodeo for several years traveling from coast to coast.  While on his spring run in California, he met his future wife Kelli.  He eventually moved to California and wrapped up his tie down roping career with a California Circuit finals qualification in 2003.  At that point, he shifted his focus back to his other passion and set out to obtain his PRCA Announcer card and pursue announcing as a full time profession.  Jody and Kelli married in 2005 and have been blessed to be able to build their lives traveling to rodeos together ever since.


Jody has been selected 4 times by the PRCA to announce the National Finals Steer Roping and 2 times as the Ram National Circuit Finals Announcer.  He has also announced many other great rodeos across the United States and Canada. 

TROY LERWILL

Daredevil Rodeo Clown & Barrelman

Have you ever seen The Wild Child perform? If you have you will never forget it! “The Wild Child” Troy Lerwill’s act is one of a kind. He started on a little motorcycle with training wheels, cracking jokes in his rodeo clown get-up. When a rodeo announcer in California challenged him to jump a child-sized truck on a dirt bike, he thought “why not?” The crowd loved it! It got him thinking and soon he built a ramp and took it, along with his full-sized truck, down to a hay field and started experimenting. In 1999 he started the act that made him renowned in the Rodeo Industry and six-time winner of PRCA Comedy Act of the Year, three-time winner of WNFR Barrelman and two-time winner of “Coors Man In the Can”! 
Coming from a rodeo family, he was always more intrigued with the clowns and the bullfighters, and found his “calling” in the arena making people laugh! He went to bullfighting school to learn the art of clowning around with angry beasts, but his love affair with dirt bikes and years of professional motocross are what makes flying through the air with nothing but a piece of metal between his legs look effortless and almost easy! 
You can see his act 99 times, and the 100th time will still be hysterical-heart-racing-cover-your-eyes-but-can’t-exciting!!! That’s why you will never forget it!
