Smokin Brothas

Most people only barbequed on special holidays but anytime my dad desired to get the boys together he would have a backyard barbeque. These childhood and adolescent experiences cultivated a desire within me to become a pit master. The more I smoked, however, the more I recognized the pleasure I obtained from seeing people truly appreciate the food I had prepared. This feeling turned into the fuel that pushed me to start perfecting my skill; as well as investing into my hobby at this time. Furthermore, four years ago I began barbequing on a more professional level by catering for events. My passion for perfection continued to grow and this passion caused me to begin creating my own: seasoning, links, and sauces. I moved to Tulsa to attend Oral Roberts University for college and I thought that this passion would have to die because I had to start over. However, the passion did not die and I met a friend named Zachary Monks; now I recognize him as more of a brother then a friend. He continued to push me. He never ceased constantly telling me that I needed to sell my barbeque, and all I could think of were those past time backyard barbeques with my dad and my brothers; thus Smokin Brotha’s was born.
