What started as a passion for cooking over fire quickly turned into a full-blown mission for me. My journey into BBQ began the way many great stories do—backyard cooks for family and friends, experimenting with rubs, sauces, and different pits until I found the flavors that truly spoke to me. I wasn’t just cooking food—I was creating an experience. Over time, the spark grew into something bigger. I built Blazin Jett BBQ in Kokomo, Indiana, as more than just a name—it’s a reflection of my drive, my style, and my belief that great BBQ brings people together. Whether it’s firing up the Weber kettle with the vortex, running the Traeger, or lighting up the Su-V gun for that perfect sear, I love pushing boundaries and showing people there’s always a new level of flavor waiting to be unlocked. I’ve taken my brand from backyard cooks to competitions, social media, and collaborations with companies I respect. Along the way, I’ve been blessed to connect with other pitmasters, creators, and BBQ lovers who’ve inspired me to keep going. My Goals: • Continue to grow Blazin Jett BBQ into a respected name in competition and content creation. • Represent and collaborate with brands that share my same passion for quality, innovation, and community. • Build products—rubs, sauces, and gear—that deliver the same bold, authentic flavor I stand behind. • Inspire others to fire up their pits, try new things, and enjoy the journey as much as the results. For me, BBQ isn’t just food—it’s fire, family, and fuel for creating unforgettable moments. And I’m just getting star
