MEET THE BUCK & THE BEES

DESSERT
Ice cream all year, any time. I also take delight in trying anything my wife bakes.

FLOWER
I like understanding the science and mechanics behind cross-breeding plants, flowers and trees. So far, I’m hitting a home run with our one-of-a-kind Magnolia.

ART
I have a general appreciation for anything anyone takes the time to learn, do and create. That said, one of my favorite artists is Anthony Christopher.

BUCK OR BEE
For sure a Buck, but maybe not because of why you think. Aside from the fact I’m allergic to the order Hymenoptera, I believe the world depends on us to give good away. It often comes in paradox. I drive a big truck, and if there’s a tenor part in an opera, chances are I’ve sung it. I can weld, woo and walk with anyone.

MUST HAVE KITCHEN TOOL
My smoker, a kitchen towel tossed over my shoulder and brown butcher paper.

I ALWAYS HAVE
A bottle of hot sauce, grape gum, sunglasses and a podcast or some form of music.

IN MY FREE TIME
I don’t believe in free time if you’re doing what you love and love what you do. But to be a team player here, I love to do things with my hands (like build mobile bakeries), problem solve, grow things and learn.
