Owner of Antz BBQ in Bay Village, Ohio. My story in the food business started early, growing up in my father’s restaurant, Karl’s Inn of the Barristers, a legendary spot in downtown Cleveland where fans gathered to eat, drink, and celebrate before and after Browns games.

Every Browns Sunday, Joe Thomas and I were working just down the street from each other!

Years later, after branching out and building my own business, I began working with HALL OF FAME FARMS in October 2025.

It’s been an incredible journey, and I feel privileged to work with such an outstanding product and, most importantly, such an amazing group of people!
