COMPETITION: World Soup Championship
Dabbled in competition BBQ with my father a few years back. Encouraged him to attend the 2016 WFC after he nabbed a golden ticket. Came down with him and finished 4th. 2017 finished 13th, 2018 finished 5th, 2019 got our asses handed to us...Won the Washington State Chili Championship's in 2019. In 2021, went to WFC with a new team. That was a re-learning year. In 2022 I was invited by another Chief to compete with him. We finished 7th. Now in 2023, I’m back with my 2021 team. Time to throw down. Just love to cook for my wife and two son's in our little corner of the PNW. Bringing people together with food is what I love to do.
