After Copenhaver attended Blue Mountain College, he was off to the rodeo circuit. 5 years later, Jeff won the world championship in 1975.

Copenhaver met his wife Sherry at the Calgary Stampede Rodeo, and they began attending church together when a fellow calf roper made the suggestion.

Soon, Jeff was writing for publications, and then 3-years later, he decided to write a book. So far, he's published 3 books in English, Spanish, and Russian. Today, over 700,000 people have Copenhaver's book. Today, the husband-wife duo is busy with the website Jeffcopenhaver.com.

You're invited to join Jeff as he shares stories of his action-packed rodeo days and obsession with becoming a roping champion tomorrow morning, (Saturday 4/17) at Ranch and Home in Kennewick. He'll be signing books at 9 am and hosting a roping clinic at 10 am. Copenhaver is scheduled to be in Hermiston on Sunday.
