I love to create things with my hands. I have been a metal fabricator for more than 30 years. I even made my own smoker for Hootie Q Barbecue! You've probably touched or seen some of the metal work I've done in Atlanta and across the state of Georgia in the form of stair railings, handles and other recognizable structures.

Now let's talk about my other love, BARBECUE! When I'm not cooking for my customers, you can find me competing across the state at various cookoffs. Hootie Q Barbecue has won over 400 metals and trophies in competions, just by doing what I love to do!

Give Hootie Q BBQ a try and taste why people say, "I'll have what he's smokin'!
