Buster was raised on the 6666 Ranch, near Guthrie, TX, and has since cowboyed on most of the big outfits in that area. 

In 1984, the 6666 hired Ray Hunt to help start the ranch's colts.  Ray's methods and ideas were all new to Buster, but he says, "It didn't take long to figure out that Ray could get horses to do things I didn't even know a horse could do!"  Thus began a friendship that lasted 25 years.

Buster started giving clinics for the public in 1996, and he and Sheryl spend much of each year traveling the country helping people with their horses.  He and Sheryl have been married over 30 years and live on their own place west of Paducah, TX.  They have two daughters, Tiffany of Louann, AR and Misty of Alpine, TX.
