CURRENT MISSION

Making a brisket that will hold its own in Texas.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Oakland California. I grew up next door in Berkeley California. I like to eat tasty food, learn languages, and bowling. I like working with kids, BBQ and playing basketball. I'm working on my Eurostep. I will be in south Texas for the foreseeable future.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is stay true. We can't create a world based on truth until we are true to ourselves. Be original!
