A little more about Matt:
Favorite thing about BBQ: The family culture that is inherently apart of BBQ. BBQ has had a heavy influence in his life, and even had it catered at his wedding!
Favorite thing about working for the Smoke Shop: The commitment to our staff and guests. We pride ourselves on treating our guests as if they are our grandmother: with kindness, respect, and hospitality.
Where you can find him on a day off: Playing with his daughter, Harper Rose, hiking in New Hampshire, or cruising on his motorcycle.
