I was a professional cook as a young man. I left the food industry but never lost my interest in creating great food. On retiring, I took up smoking meat and developed my smoking skills. I decided to share my experience with a food blog, oldfatguy.ca and developed the Old Fat Guy persona (truth in advertising)! I went on to produce a community TV program, You Can Make It, making classic dishes.

Friends kept asking me to help with learning how to smoke meat so I wrote "The Old Fat Guy's Guide to Smoking Meat - For Beginners".
