"...I'm the guy on the grill..." Published Aug. 8, 2016 9th Reconnaissance Wing Public Affairs BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, California -- "When I was stationed in Japan, my passion for barbeque began. I bought my first smoker and started barbequing everything: ribs, chicken, brisket, pulled pork. If it can be smoked, I smoke it. My favorite thing to barbeque is ribs because I have my own special process. Whenever my friends and I get together, I'm the guy on the grill. Right now, I have a catering business and compete in barbeque competitions nationwide, but my goal is to open up a restaurant in Japan after I retire." Staff Sgt.
