My hero is Joe Baumgartner. He is a bullfighter in the PBR (Professional Bull Riding),and one of the best bullfighters that I know of. Baumgartner has traveled the country riding bulls at many of the nation's most prestigious rodeos and bull riding events.

My hero’s career is very hard to keep up with. One accomplishment he made was to go to college to become a bullfighter. He has been selected as one of the bullriders for the PBR world finals since 1994.

Some characteristics about Joe Baumgartner are, he works hard keeping the rider safe from the bull as well as keeping other bullriders safe. He shows that he thinks of others not himself. Joe is a caring person to everyone .

I did not know that a lot of people did not know him. Joe is one of the best heroes that I know of. He is the best bullfighter there is. He has proven to be outstanding in his profession and natural leader for the PBR bullfighting team .

Joe has made a difference in my life by showing how hard it is to save someone from a bull and keep others safe.
