Cody Dove

Born to a father who was a rodeo announcer and a mother who worked providing state assistance to those without home energy; Cody Dove came into the world on February 14, 1974. His early years were spent traveling the rodeo circuit with his family where he would often help the specialty act performers in the arena (appearing as the animated bottom half of a saw-in-half clown act gone wrong, playing seesaw with a trained Appaloosa horse).
