Hey folks!

Well, I am a software engineer in a telecom industry... Working for a company that most of you would hate, as we enable the telco's to send you guys bills for those calls you make

I am also a self-employed food photographer, blogger and journalist, but that's more of making the hobby a business

Chef/Cook
Although Currently trying to start some small business in the Philippines. I am in my 20s yes, but BBQ is in my blood. My grand dad was cajun and I guess my dads cousins are scattered all over the south. Hope to visit them someday and swap recipes. 
 
I went into Defense (Navy) contracting as a systems engineer after I was unexpectedly discharged on a disability after 15 years of honorable Naval service.  That's largely what I've been doing ever since 1992. Got laid off in May 2011 and was fortunate to have been working part time for the "Big Orange Box" (Home Depot) for the previous 17 1/2 years. Worked for them full time until May 2012, then went to Lowe's.  Recently got back into my professional venue, now working at the Pentagon on a Navy weapons program.  If I could make a decent living cooking, I'd change careers in a heartbeat.  But it takes money and hookups, which I ain't got.  I do my best to make sure the American BBQ tradition stays alive, although I don't claim to be a "pro" by any stretch.  I do have some self-developed recipes and techniques, and everybody that tastes my offerings raves about them.  I just love great food, and if I can put some out there, I get a strong sense of satisfaction.

Cheers,

Scott

I raise registered 100%Berkshire hogs for a living. If you're a barbecue enthusiast, you'll love this pork. Our website, www.gourmet carnivore.com, tells all about why our pork is different, and better. We are a family farm, only about 120 head, and we plan to stay small to do things the right way.
