Dustin grew up around horses and the western way of life. Under the watchful eye of Sid Cook, he started his first horse at the young age of 11.
After heading west to work on the Gang Ranch and meeting his wife Carmen, he worked on many ranches from BC to Saskatchewan.
Having since settled southwest of Cardston, they run a few cows there and operate their breeding.
Recently, Dustin has begun riding for Pekisko Ranches, where he is the forman training their horses, producing ranch and rope horses. Dustin enjoys the mix of colts, taking horses farther and cow work.
