My company Hearty Hog Food LLC was voted best "Food Truck" in Maury County all 3 years in business.
My non-profit is the only non-profit that teaches Veterans Bbq as a therapeutic hobby. We successfully completed four Veterans Bbq Camps, teaching over 60 Veterans how to smoke bbq. It has also created a networking mechanism for the Veterans as well as a way to give back. The Veterans also help with disaster relief, using their newly aquired skill (bbq) to help such as feeding about 500 of the 2021 Waverly, TN. flood victims.
