Board of Directors
Bob Bergren is the Founder of Dual King Ranch and owns and operates the Ranch. Bob was born and raised near St. Paul, Minnesota and his family had a strong farming and livestock background. His love of the mountains and wide open spaces brought him out West to St. George almost 20 years ago. He quickly became involved in ranching and worked on several local ranches for a number of years. One of the local ranchers saw something in Bob that led to him to suggest that Bob would be very good at working with local at-risk youth teaching them about horses and ranching to give them something positive in their lives.
Based on his training and coaching background with kids back in Minnesota, it was a natural fit and he has become one of the premier providers of Equine Assisted programs and activities in the nation. He has been a presenter at National Equine conferences and often donates his time to speak at local and regional schools and programs about Equine Therapy and related topics, including a demonstration to the State of Utah District Judges. In addition to all of his equine qualifications, he recently graduated from the Utah Police Officers Training Academy at the top of his class, where he received four of the five outstanding achievement awards. His law enforcement certification uniquely qualifies him for working with the Juvenile Justice Department, Domestic Violence Programs, Drug Courts as well as other substance abuse programs for adolescents and adults alike. Most of the kids that Bob works with simply refer to him as "Cowboy Bob" and when you get a chance to meet him, you will probably want to call him that too.
Certifications: Master's Level Certification by Greg Kersten (Founder of Equine Therapy, EAGALA and the OK Corral Seminar Series). Category 1 Certifiable Police Officer.
