Tomi was born in Zepherhills, Florida.  She has been barrel racing since she was 2 years old and she will be starting school this coming year to become a doctor in plastic surgery.

She has two very nice horses;   Junior aka Dixie n Fritz, he is a bay that stands 15.2 hands.  Junior has been running for just over one year and a half now.  Tomi trained junior with her step dad Joe Brown.  Her other horse is June Bug.  Tomi says she is little but has a huge heart.  June Bug is only a red 14.2 hand mare.  Her Mom trained her when she was 6 years old and she has been running barrels for 6 years now.  Her horses have gotten her pretty far says Tomi.  Junior won Tomi a title at the Florida NBHA State Show in the Youth.  They also went to Youth World in 2009 and won a title on June Bug.   Junior is her rodeo horse.  She hopes to be running hard in the rodeo scene this year.  Her long term goals are to make it to the NFR one day.

Tomi would like to thank her sponsors for helping her get this far;  Panhandle Slim, Rock n Roll Cowgirl,  Corral Boots,  Manna Pro Feed for being her sponsors.  A special thank you to Dan Post for keeping her horses feeling good and Pat B. for always having her horses hooves in great shape.  Tomi would like to wish a special thanks to her Mom for getting her where she needs to go and always being supportive.  Lastly a special thanks to her step dad Joe Brown for his support and help in training her horses.

Congrats Tomi on your wins in NBHA local, state and world and best of luck in your new adventures down the rodeo trail.
