QUALIFYING EVENT: Just a Pinch


I'm a Contest Cook and BBQ Competitor. Cooking helps use my creative genes and is quite therapeutic to me. Whether cooking for my family or a large group, I get an overwhelming sense of joy to present a meal or dish that brings a smile to someones face. I love the field of competition, while not running down a court or passing a teammate the ball, fire and metal are my sports equipment and this sport is GOOD!!!
