His dad, Lon, competed so Kelly was around it at an early age. They had an indoor arena that the college team used, but it burned down in 1981 and they never rebuilt, so rodeo was put on the back burner. He then got involved in showing reining and cutting horses. He was also involved in wrestling and football, winning the Wyoming state wrestling title his senior year...After high school, he lived in Eaton, Colo., and went over to Bruce Ford’s with some of his buddies. He got on three horses there, and Bruce bet him $1 on his last ride. He rode and won his first $1 in rodeo from Bruce. He then competed at some amateur rodeos and was offered a rodeo scholarship to Casper College…He has an older brother, Chris, who won the bareback riding title at the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo (Pocatello, Idaho) in 2006, and a younger brother, Zeb, who builds houses in Casper…Has a regular workout routine that consists of running two miles every day and lifting weights …Appeared in four video spots to promote the Casper (Wyo.) Star-Tribune's coverage of the 2008 College National Finals Rodeo...Travels with Scott Montague…Rodeo idol is Mark Garrett
