Mx. ASGRA - Mark Smith

Mark Allen Smith grew up in a small town in Missouri and was a farm boy ever since Mark was born. Mark's family moved to Delaware and left that farm. In Philadelphia, Mark met this crazy woman who introduced him to gay rodeo. She invited me to learn to ride her horse. In 2007 Mark competed his my very first rodeo. After that rodeo in Maryland with ASGRA, Atlantic States Gay Rodeo Association, Mark was hooked.

Mark has always been interested in the country western lifestyle as well as rodeo. He once told his parents he wanted to compete in the junior rodeo coming to our home town in Missouri. Their response was you will get hurt or worse yet killed. Well since 2007 I have been competing and have been hurt but I am still kicking at 61 and still actively competing.

Oh and one more thing, that crazy women I met in Philadelphia is none other than my rodeo wife and bestie, Jennifer Vrana. Love you always my friend.
