Many persevere to find their passion in life, but tie-down roper William MacLeod has been fortunate enough to discover that tie-down roping in rodeos has brought him joy.
 

The cowboy was born in Antigonish in Nova Scotia in Canada, on December 6th of 1988 and was the only one in the family who wanted to be a rodeo cowboy. Becoming very interested in tie-down roping in rodeos, and from age 5 in approximately July of 1994, it was destined that from when his hero Joe Beaver won the Calgary Stampede in tie-down roping and then about by 1999 MacLeod would become a future PRCA tie-down roper.
