Competitive BBQ is not just a hobby for me, it is part of my life, and a big part at that!  As a judge, table captain, organizer and cook team, I have experienced almost every facet of competition BBQ.

I would like to see the area of Backyard continue to grow with partnerships with experienced or master series teams, classes and learning opportunities, and more contests. I intend to be an advocate for all members of MABA, from cook teams (both Master Series and Backyard) to the volunteers that help run events in our region.
