About Me

---

Born into a big family, I was the youngest of 8 kids. We didn't have the luxury of eating out very much so home cooked meals were a normal thing in our household. My dad was a pastor and my mother was a homemaker, private school teacher and eventually went on to be a nurse when she was in her fifties. In our household we kids helped with cooking and cleaning which meant we were in the kitchen a lot. My mother taught us how to follow recipes and my dad taught us how to stray from those recipes with a few different ingredients. I credit my mother with teaching me how to make fried chicken. No one could beat her fried chicken. After moving out of the house and having a family of my own, I grew to love cooking on the grill and throwing meats in the smoker. When my wife bought me a book on making sauces and rubs, I decided to try my hand at making my own bbq sauce. It was good enough that I wrote down the recipe and have used it and perfected it over the last 12 years. I hope you like it as much as I do as you journey down the road that is known as the BBQ world.

Food has a special ability to bring people together. I often find this in my own life.  For me, cooking together builds the best communities! Let's get cooking together!
