Rumford met his wife, Ashley through mutual friends and after two years of dating, they married in 2007. She has put her profession as a registered nurse on hold and is an integral part of Rump’s success. “She’s on board, she’s great – she goes with me full time and does a lot of the work." The Rumfords have triplets who travel with them.
Rumford spends a lot of time talking to people off the mic while the events are going on. “You get to know your crowd and you can gauge what you’re going to do. Rodeo comedy is not a one size fits all, everything has to be tailored.”
He is continually changing his acts. “You can’t have a canned product. It would be so easy to find something that works...you have to keep finding the next thing."
