My passion for cooking started at a very young age, cooking in restaurants, so it only made sense when I began my career in the fire service, that I became the Firehouse chef almost immediately. After cooking for my crews for many years, my passion led me to competition BBQ, where I developed my own rubs that friends & family always encouraged me to bottle...so I did! Enjoy!
