When did you start getting into BBQ, and why?
In the mid 1990s I began making road trips down to Kansas City, as I am huge Chiefs fan. There, I discovered the amazing world of BBQ. I began learning how to BBQ at home in 2018 with my first smoker.
What are your favorite BMC partner brands?
Louisiana Grills & Pit Boss
What are your favorite rubs/sauces?
I love using Louisiana Grills rubs as well as Postal Barbecue. My favourite BBQ sauces are those that are “Kansas City Style” – a molasses based sweet & spicy sauce.
What is your winning recipe?
I love so many of my dishes, but one that my family can’t get enough of is my Armadillo Eggs that are made from a combo of ground venison and chorizo.
What is the most bizarre thing you made?
I don’t think many foods are “bizarre”. I have cooked Venison, Lamb, Elk, Bison, Beef, Pork, Chicken, Fish. Once it’s been smoked low and slow, it’s all great!
What is BBQ for you?
Amazing food, enjoyed in community.

Message to the nation:
BBQ is about food, friends, and fun. Don’t feel overwhelmed, or get discouraged. Try big and new cooks, invite friends over, and enjoy each other’s company as you enjoy the fruits of your labor.
