Q: WHEN DID YOU FIRST FALL IN LOVE WITH COOKING?
GROWING UP I WOULD ALWAYS HELP MY MOM IN THE KITCHEN COOKING DINNERS AND CLEANING UP. FAMILY BBQS WERE BIG FOR ME GROWING UP. I REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH COOKING WHEN MY MOM WOULD LET ME GRILL ON OUR WEBER KETTLE. AFTER THAT, COOKING NEVER STOPPED!
Q: WHEN DID YOU HEAR ABOUT BLACKSTONE, AND WHEN DID YOU START COOKING ON ONE?
IT REALLY STARTED WHEN I WAS JUST SMOKING MEATS ON MY PELLET GRILL, AND PHIL TOLD ME HE BOUGHT A BLACKSTONE. HE SAID “DUDE THIS THING IS OUTSTANDING AND YOU HAVE TO GET ONE!” DURING COVID, I PICKED UP MY 28” AND HAVE BEEN COOKING ON IT EVER SINCE!
Q: WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING AND HOW DID YOU GET STARTED DOING IT?
I’M A LICENSED JOURNEYMAN PLUMBER IN THE CHICAGO LOCAL 130 PLUMBING UNION. I STARTED AS AN APPRENTICE PLUMBER BACK IN 2006, RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.
Q: WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT COOKING?
I SPEND MAJORITY OF MY TIME WITH MY FAMILY - MY WIFE (CHRISTINA) AND MY 2 GIRLS (MADELYN & AVERY)
