Co-Founder @ Burn Pit BBQ

About

I’m a Marine Corps veteran turned entrepreneur, building Burn Pit BBQ from the ground up into a national retail brand. What started in a backyard has grown into a disciplined, veteran-led CPG business on a mission: deliver premium products, execute flawlessly, and share what I’m learning along the way. I post about: Execution & Discipline – what it really takes to scale a product and a team Retail Expansion & CPG Growth – lessons from Amazon, Walmart, and beyond Founder Leadership – carrying responsibility, making decisions under pressure, and building culture This isn’t about hype. It’s about showing the real journey of growth, the wins, the mistakes, and the daily grind that builds a brand that lasts. If you’re building something, growing a brand, or just curious about how to scale with discipline, follow along. I share the behind-the-scenes moments most people never see - from garage days to pallets in retail.
