While I am a certified judge, most of my experience comes as part of a competition team, Rough Cut Q. Although we began as a backyard team, we are now working toward moving up to the Masters division.
MABA has one of the strongest backyard divisions in the country. If our organization is going to grow, we need to keep this group engaged while also supporting those looking to advance. I believe having a backyard-oriented perspective on the board will help MABA navigate these changes effectively.


Bill started by watching the BBQ Pitmaster and other competition shows in 2008. My wife suggested that I look to get certified to become a BBQ judge. I have continued to judge every year since excluding the Covid-19.
Bill is a Certified Master BBQ Judge and has judged 39 competitions and completed the JCUP. Outside of competition BBQ, he cooks almost every weekend on his Big Green Egg. Bill is working to perfect his brisket cooks.
