Pick Up Men

Ty Atchison

Ty Atchison 37, earned his nickname “Cowboy Ty” from his lack of conforming to the modern day cowboy appearance so many men his age have adopted. A NFR qualifier in the saddle bronc riding, he also competed in the tie-down roping and team roping in college. A graduate from a University in Tennessee, Ty has shelved his degree to pursue his passion in the rodeo arena. No longer competing, he has cultivated his natural talent to become an accomplished pick up man.
