Terry was raised near Idalia, Colorado on a farm/ranch operation. In the late ‘60′s, after the farm was lost in an estate battle (the subject of one of his poems) Terry drifted into a thirty-five year career trucking, although never getting too far away from farming and raising beef.

Today, the horses, cattle and hay that Terry and his wife, Kathy, raise are the mainstays of a semi-retired life he now leads in Loma, Colorado, writing and reciting cowboy poetry and spendin’ as much time a’horseback as possible. Terry has recently recorded a CD entitled “Calf Pullin’ Made Simple.”
