About the Rodeo Announcer

Since retiring from the rodeo arena--he admits to being a not-very-good bareback rider and later an accident-prone rodeo clown--David A. Poulsen has taken up residence in announcer’s stands across North America. The results have been tremendously positive both for David and audiences who have listened to his knowledgeable and enthusiastic commentary for the last eighteen years.

        The likable Alberta native has appeared at many of the major rodeos in Canada, among them the Canadian Finals Rodeo (three times), the Calgary Stampede for the last eleven years in a row and he has also been heard at rodeos throughout the four western provinces and in the United States as well. Equally at home in front of a TV camera, he has been seen on CTV Wide World of Sports, TSN Television Sports and each year co-hosts the popular Stampede Roundup program on Calgary’s CFCN-TV with Russ Peake. He also co-hosts the documentary series The Complete Rider which is seen on The Outdoor Life Network.

        David’s announcing talents have also taken him to the big screen. He twice played the role of a rodeo announcer in the successful family series The Black Stallion and was behind the microphone for the rodeo scenes in the movie Convict Cowboy which starred Jon Voigt.
