| Tom Smith |
| Vice President - Business Development and Marketing |
Tom Smith makes his living as a project manager on large industrial construction projects. He rode a few bulls in high school but competed in the bareback riding off and on for twenty years. "Building SEBRA the last three years has been extremely rewarding. I am looking forward to developing the NBR Series. When I started with SEBRA it had 40 events and 40 members, with a lot of hard work from everyone involved it became a world class association. Mike Porter has done the same with the PBBA. Working with Mike the NBR Series is sure to be a winner."
