About Us

" After spending most of my adult life away from my family serving in the U.S. Navy,  I am near retirement and jumped at the opportunity to  become part of a brand I believe in built on fun, family and most importantly Amazing BBQ. "

     "I have always been an avid griller, open flame, high heat, but was introduced to the world of BBQ’ing,  low and slow by my little brother Brian.  After one family reunion with some of Brians’s own signature rubs, I knew I was hooked.  I knew my wife was hooked too when the following mother’s day she asked for a “brisket like Brian’s” instead of flowers and perfume." 

     "My BBQ journey started with a convenience store offset smoker but with Brian’s experience and guidance I grew into a developing Pit Master with a Traeger by my side.  I’m looking forward to my days ahead on land bringing grillers and Pit Masters together to enjoy some good times, good stories, and signature flavors from across the country."

"Full disclosure, I am not just a part of the Rub Club Team, I am part of the family."

"I have been lucky enough to share my life with Brian’s brother,  Jason, and now to come aboard the BBQ Rub Club Team and share in the continuing success of a brand created to bring fun, flavor, and BBQ passion into everyone’s home and backyard.  My husband has been a Navy man for almost 27yrs and is nearing retirement.  So after years of deployments and time apart, I  can’t think of a better way to start the next chapter of our lives than by working together on a brand that we not only believe in, but that brings amazing food and people into our lives."
