My journey began in Canada over four decades ago, where I discovered a passion for cooking—especially grilling and barbecuing. Despite the cold weather, I was drawn to the flame and always eager to learn more. That curiosity followed me when I moved to Texas in 2010, where I was introduced to the heart of real BBQ culture. It was a game-changer.

​

Blending my Canadian roots with my new home in Houston, a close friend suggested combining the two in a name—Texanada BBQ was born in 2018. From backyard cookouts with friends and family to neighborhood competitions, I was hooked. Over the years, I’ve refined my techniques, sourced high-quality ingredients, and experimented with a range of seasonings and sauces—all in pursuit of the perfect BBQ experience.

​

So, what makes good BBQ truly great? It’s a mix of knowledge, quality, and an unwavering passion for the craft. I analyze every cook, learn from each experience, and approach every brisket, rib, or sauce with care and heart.

BBQ brought my community together—and now, I'm excited to share that experience with you.
