Jeremy Sparks is a professional bullfighter that wears a white Stetson hat and speaks with a confident southern drawl. He was reared in Fountain Hills, Ark.—population 150—and it’s easy to imagine him sitting under a vast, star bespattered night sky by a campfire, blowing into a harmonica. He doesn’t necessarily look like a professional athlete, but he exudes a quiet self-confidence. Jeremy transformed a childhood pastime into an unconventional career he loves. Despite potential injury on daily basis and his mother’s misgivings, Jeremy persevered and continues to do what he loves most to this day—riding bulls.
