Hi all, my name is Ryan and I am from Glen Cove, NY, which is located on the Gold Coast of Long Island! I would like to start off with saying that this is truly an amazing community to be a part of and I know I will learn a lot from all of the knowledgeable people here.
I am currently gearing up for my first competition next August (2015). The reason I have decided to do this is because my father was a huge BBQ fan. He was a Master CBJ for over 25 years. I don't have his badge in front of me but I think his certification number was 187! I always wanted to do a comp with him and we decided that we would do a local one when I graduated from college. Unfortunately he passed away of a heart attack at the age of 55 on Sept. 11th, 2014. I would like to carry on his legacy by starting my own competition BBQ team with my cousin.
I am graduating this December 2014 from The University of Kansas, ROCK CHALK! Upon graduation I will be moving back to Long Island to get to work on practicing for my first competition. The competition that I am looking at competing in is the Battle of the BBQ Brethren in Sayville, NY. If anyone else is planning on going I can't wait to meet some of you guys and gals in person.
