When Jake Toberer was only three years old, following in his father Michael and older brother Zack’s footsteps, he began to ride horses. By four years old he was packing into the back country with his family’s mule packing business Copper Valley Trail Company. By five years old he was bitten with the calf riding bug and this is where the real story begins. There was only one thing holding Jake back from his calf riding dream…his age. At five years old he was too young to compete. What his father saw in his young son’s eyes when he asked to ride was determination, drive, and passion to become a bull rider. How could a father not help his son try to achieve his dream? Enter friend and fellow bull rider Ryan McClure. Under Ryan’s careful tutelage and ....

| I offer my apologies. I would like to express my regrets if I offended or disappointed any constituents of District 5 regarding the scheduled debate in Copperopolis on Wednesday 10 /13/2010. That was certainly not my intention. I am not a politician. I am a taxpayer, a husband, a father and friend, who wants the best for his community. I have grown frustrated with a political process nationwide that has become so corrupt that the taxpayers never really have an opportunity to ask questions, voice concerns or even vent criticism of their elected officials and candidates for office in an open public forum.
