hunting, fishing, kayaking, cooking and smoking meat

I enjoy being in the outdoors and have many recreational hobbies. I took my cooking and meat smoking hobby to a new level when my wife and I operated a food truck checking off a dream on my bucket list, but I am ready to get back in the workforce and keep those hobbies as hobbies.
