My Story

Founder of Rodeo Bandits Co. | Built on Grit, Grace & Country Roots

I was raised on the sound of 90s country music pouring from my mama’s radio and the dust of rodeo arenas under my boots before I could even talk. By the time I was two, I was sitting in the stands at rodeos, wide-eyed and wild-hearted. I grew up around fiery Arabian horses, and somewhere along the way, that untamed spirit became part of me.

But this dirt road life wasn’t always easy.

As a young girl, I faced a life-altering injury that left me in a wheelchair, with doctors telling me I’d never walk again. I didn’t listen. Through grit, prayers, and years of determination, I did walk again—and that battle shaped the fighter in me.

At 20, I became a mother. My daughter gave me purpose, and I hustled hard to build a stable life for us. I spent over a decade working my way up into management in the corporate world. But behind the scenes, I was surviving more than just boardrooms—I was fighting my way out of toxic, abusive relationships, trying to protect my light when everything around me was trying to dim it.

And still, I rose.

The trauma never fully disappears, but I made a promise to myself: I would stop surviving and start living—on my own terms. I wasn’t made to be caged. I was born wild, like the horses I grew up loving, and I knew I had a bigger purpose. That's when Rodeo Bandits Co. was born.

Rodeo Bandits Co. is more than a clothing brand—it’s a movement grounded in Colorado grit, country roots, and a mission to grow something that gives back. My dream is to one day open a nonprofit ranch right here in Colorado for abused women, children, and rescued barn animals. Every purchase gets us one step closer to making that sanctuary a reality.

This brand is for the dreamers, the fighters, the cowgirls and cowboys who’ve walked through fire and still dance under the stars. It’s for those who wear their boots with pride and never let go of hope.

If you’ve made it this far, I want to say thank you. Thank you for supporting a small, woman-owned business with big dreams. Thank you for joining the Rodeo Bandits family.

And remember—you’re stronger than you know, and the dirt road you’re on might just be leading you somewhere beautiful.

With love & fire,
Bandit Babe
