Patrick Shining Elk

Patrick Shining Elk is a gifted all around horseman, actor, stunt man, veteran of foreign wars and proud member of the Eastern Shoshone Indian Tribe from the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. In honor of his adopted father and wanting to follow in his footsteps, Patrick joined the United States Navy where he flew air crew (search and rescue) for several years. His time in the military also sent him into combat in three separate foreign wars -- the Lebanon War, Panama War and Desert Storm. Patrick's inherent attraction to all things extreme led him to four years of professional motor cross racing, as well as many other extreme sports, and ultimately on to the business of being a stuntman for television and movies and a semi-professional cowboy. His 20 plus years as an Indian Cowboy, has made Patrick an all around horseman, livestock wrangler and award winning bull rider and steer wrestler.
