Billy Soksoda was born outside of Vientiane, Laos, around the time of the communist takeover. At the age of three, he fled the country with his mother and they re-settled in the United States as refugees. The family found themselves living in a tough Sacramento neighborhood, so Billy’s mom decided to move the family to Redding, a small city in California’s rural north. It was in Redding that Billy would be introduced to a popular local sport that would change his life, Rodeo. The first time he climbed on the back of a raging bull he was hooked. Billy would compete in rodeos throughout the west, racking up titles and accolades as he road with the PBR, PCRA and California Cowboys. Bull riding is just one part of Billy’s amazing story so join us as we talk to this Cowboy, Muay Thai fighter, entrepreneur, coach, family man and soon-to-be Dr. Soksoda.
