The founder of OhioRodeo.com has moved
on from promoting rodeos in Ohio only. He wanted me to express that he loves rodeo with all of his heart, and loves a lot of the people involved with rodeo
in Ohio.
Dave Sherman
is the founder of OhioRodeo.com. He originally
built this site in 2000 after it was clear that people involved with rodeo events state wide were not making it to local
rodeos because there is no organization in posting rodeo events state wide. Dave thought with the on flux of computers
and the internet that it was time to build the first rodeo website to help the cowboys and cowgirls to find the events, the
stock contractors to get people to their events, and the fans that were left out in left field to find events close to them.
I have had a few discussions with Dave about what rodeo was at the turn of the century
(2000) and what it is now 7 years later. Dave told me that rodeo and bull riding was a close nit cowboy and cowgirl family
where for the most part everyone was out to have a good time and enjoy the sport of rodeo. Dave said that he loved to keep
up with what he considered to be his best friends in life when he was at rodeos. He watched a lot of the young cowboys ride
through the ranks and beyond their dreams that they once had. He slowly watched them quit rodeo and move on. He watched stock
contractors move away from the state or retire because they were getting their throats cut by other stock contractors or cowboys
that thought they were shorted by the stock contractor for one reason or another.
If
it were not for Dave, most stock contractors from the Ohio area wouldn't even know how to turn a computer on or conceive the
idea of what a website for their rodeo company would mean. Think about that boys and girls!
