Tyson isn’t most proud of his accomplishments in professional rodeo or the businesses that he has….it is his family. Tyson always says “what good is it to gain the world but lose your soul.” To him his family is his heart and soul. Its is the reason he strives for excellence in all that he does. He realizes that winning a rodeo or in business today is good but it is not as valuable being a father to his kids that are the future of everything.
