Ray Champ

2009 brought many highlights to Ray's career.  Along with announcing the INFR for the second year, he was honored to MC the IAC-Native Women & Youth Symposium.  Ray is pictured here with special guests: Joe Beaver, Joey Bell, and Rob Smets among others.

Ray is looking forward to the 2010 rodeo season and cannot wait to see his rodeo friends and family along the way.

Ray, his wife Jimi and son Talvin live on the family ranch at Seville Flats, Montana.  Along with announcing, they raise cattle and quarter horses. 

Ray started this business out of pure love for the sport of rodeo.  He is a former bullrider, turned team roper and his wife, Jimi competes in the barrel racing and breakaway roping. Through their competition and work with the cowboys and cowgirls throughout the US and Canada, they have created lasting friendships with many people along the way.
