A Western historical poet and entertainer, 'Sierra' has appeared as the Master of Ceremonies for the annual Chisholm Trail Festival in Yukon, Oklahoma, for ten years. He has also appeared at The National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City and at numerous festivals and gatherings around the state of Oklahoma. He recently returned from two weeks as the guest interpreter for the Rio Grand National Forest, USDA, in south central Colorado where he entertained in the campgrounds and at meetings of local service clubs.

'Sierra's' poetry spans the range from humorous to serious and includes such poems as 4 x 4, Engineer Pass, Home Sweet Home, The Cowboy Switch, and Bi-Focal Cowboy. Christmas... Cowboy Style, included in his book, The Back Side Shooter, was published in the December/January 2001 issue of Trails End magazine.
