Fun Facts about Levi: He qualified for his first WNFR in 2016, started in 14th place, and left Las Vegas as the number one header in the world roping with Jeremy Buhler. The next year he finished 16th in the world standings and went to rodeos the final weekend of the season to help Jeremy qualify. In 2018 he was 43rd. He partnered with Shay Carol this year. A good part of his winnings and much of his success in his career has been on Teel Bar Badger “Badger,” that he bought as a three-year-old. Levi’s dad is an outfitter and when Badger’s attitude needed adjusting, Frank took to British Columbia via a six-hour boat ride. They spent three months packing on him and when Badger came home, he was happy to be a rope horse. Levi and his wife, Rebecca, have two daughters, Annie and Hope.
