Meet my Mom, Pat Hartwig, seen here sharing a moment with Bois D’Arc.
She handles the orders, transcribes my emails and other correspondence, totes me to and from the airport (along with my Dad, Rudy), and generally allows me to wear all of the hats that I do: roper, rider, rancher, hay baler, dirt hauler, horseshoer, entertainer and so on.

 Thank you Mom and Dad for all of your help and support!
