Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.
This all began when I was 22 years old. I bought a 69 Chevy pickup, I rebuilt the motor of the vehicle and gave it a paint job as well. This project turned out great and that led me to weld and paint my first Santa Maria Style barbecue pit! It was a solid steel trailer with brick lining to keep my fires hot!
Pick-up and Pit complete, I began the process of getting into farmers' markets in San Diego. It was so tough to get a good market where there was solid foot traffic. There were so many different learning curves but I enjoyed that process all along the way. What was needed so that I could just be totally compliant is really important in the foodservice industry. That's kind of the nature of business, you are always rising to a challenge and overcoming an obstacle.
My ability to learn and adapt in the BBQ business led me to put on another hat really quickly, I started Tap Truck! It was just an idea that I was rattling around. I brought it up to my good buddy Taylor Steers. Down the road, we sped off with cash from the bank and bought a classic truck with about all we could afford.
