My background, in a nutshell? After spending years as a global logistics executive, I decided to “follow my bliss” in 2008 and pursue my love of the culinary arts on a full-time basis — making the leap from being an occasional barbecue contest competitor to dedicating myself full time to the mission of evangelizing the art, science, and passion of outdoor cooking.
Today, my passion has taken me in several incredible directions. In addition to traveling the world to compete and judge cooking contests, teach classes, and promote the industry, I also had the privilege of managing/marketing the Australia & New Zealand site for Allrecipes.com — helping home cooks discover outstanding recipes and proving them with a powerful stream of digital content to improve their talents, results, and confidence in the kitchen.
Specific areas of expertise I’ve amassed include:
• Outdoor Cooking Expertise (Barbecue, Chuck Wagon, Dutch Oven, Camp Cooking, etc.)
• Menu & Recipe Creation / Cooking Demonstrations / Group & Individual Training
• Digital Content Development, Management, Taxonomy & Curation / CMS Usage
• Digital Advertising / SEO / Social Media / E-Newsletters / Database Marketing
• Community Outreach / Public Relations / Event Marketing & Management
• Certified Food Competition Judge / Live Stage & Black Box Cooking Competitor
