At age six, Brian Herman got on his first steer with the encouragement of his uncle. Herman recalls, “I wanted to ride, so I got on, and it just felt natural.” Twenty-nine years later Herman remains one of the veterans on tour. Qualifying for his first National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in 1994 is one of Herman’s proudest bull riding accomplishments. “Winning my first PBR event was great, too. It was in Fort Worth in 1997, and it was an honor to win that event,” states Herman. Fellow bull riders and PBR fans generally refer to Herman by his nickname “Pee Wee.” “I got that name during my freshman year of high school football, and it’s just stuck ever since.” In fact, if you look closely, “Pee Wee” is the name you’ll find stitched on Herman’s boots.
