David Bullock

A decendent of Utah Pioneers, he claims to have captured the illusive Tommyknocker, been haunted by ghosts, even rescued the dead. He’s searched for and discovered treasures, buried deep in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. He CLAIMS to be: a miner, trapper, famous Bear hunter; even a rodeo cowboy! He admits that as a young man he foolishly shot and killed the most prized bull in all of the state of Utah! Well, one thing’s for sure, he can sure shoot the bull! Just who is this famous adventurer who seems to have done it all? Why he’s none other than the Heir of Legends, David Bullock, Storyteller and Western Poet. Raised in the mine camps of Utah, Bullock is a third generation Miner. “I was raised on dreams”, says David. “My fathers and grandfathers quest to find gold and silver has made it only natural that I would have a vivid imagination and propensity towards telling stories. Camped high in the mountains after a hard days work in the mines, we’d entertain each other by sitting around the fire swapping lies and telling stories. I’ve heard the best of them!” David’s gift of telling “the best of them”, gives his audience; ranging from little children all the way to the oldsters, the pleasure of dreaming and seeing with their own imaginations, vivid pictures that are painted with his descriptive words. The author of his own stories and Poetic Ballads, David has a repertoire that ranges from absurd and totally incredible tales that will tickle your funny bone, to heartbreaking stories of dying heroes and lost loves. He tells historical stories, western folklore, ghost stories, and tales of whimsy, (who he lovingly refers to as the first Donkey he owned as a child). The Legend Heir’s unique ability to blend experiences from his own life and those from American Western culture has thrilled audiences of all ages. A seasoned entertainer, the Legendheir has performed at nationally recognized Storytelling festivals such as the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival; He has also entertained thousands at the Utah Arts Festival, Weber, Westminster, and University of Wyoming Storytelling Festivals. He performs for civic groups, corporate conventions, educational organizations, libraries, youth conferences and other groups. He has released two audio recordings; “Legends of the Legendheir”, and “Hardrock and the Tommy knockers”. His latest book, “The Two Kings” is a masterfully written Christmas story that warms the hearts of those who read it. Mr. Bullock has served as Secretary/Treasurer of the Utah Storytelling Guild; Past president of the Summit Chapter of the Utah Storytelling Guild and Vise President of the Babcock Performing Readers, a reader’s theater located in Salt Lake City, Utah. David lives with his wife Cathy in Park City, Utah.
