At the beginning of Thursday’s Western Sports Round-Up, we had the opportunity to meet Allen Rheinheimer, the new General Manager of the Wrangler NFR.
Rheinheimer has worked on the Wrangler NFR in some capacity since 2000, beginning as a member of the construction maintenance crew. He credits former NFR GM Shawn Davis for having confidence in him and moving him up the latter.
As GM, he will oversee the staff and budget of the NFR in addition to working with Las Vegas Events and each department of the rodeo.
“When I said yes that day, my job started right away and it hasn’t slowed down since,” Rheinheimer said.
