| Jerome was born on August 10, 1972 in Colorado Springs, CO where his father was stationed in the military. Six months after his birth, he and his family moved back to Archdale, NC to the Davis Family Ranch where he grew up and still lives today.
Hobbies and interests growing up included racing motorcross, hunting and fishing, and following NASCAR. Of course, his biggest interest was bull riding in the rodeo. When asked as young child what he wanted to become when he grew up, Jerome always responded, "I want to be a bull rider".
Jerome rode his first bull at the age of eleven. He didn't stay on for the full 8 seconds, but knew at that point he was going to be a bull rider. When riding just his fourth bull, he was able to make it for the full eight seconds. He participated in 12-15 rodeos per year. |
