From Therapy to Food Truck: Preston's Journey

Hi. My name is Preston. I am a husband, a father of 3, and a certified foodie. My story began with a career in the human services, mental health, and educational field for 10 years before earning my master's in Family and Marriage Counseling. After 8 years as a therapist, I decided to step out on faith and pivot. My passion is on a grill and in a kitchen. For over 20 years, I have mastered the art of grilling and smoking various kinds of cuisines. A niche for passion and flair, along with experience through trial by fire, I am ready to embark upon this new pursuit for happiness.

I am asking for any donations to help with start-up funds for a food truck and my homemade chicken sausage company. I have many gatherings at my house where I have cooked everything on the grill, from hot dogs to smoked stuffed whole alligator. My cooking is literally a labor of love. I don't consider this work, as this, in essence, is therapeutic for me. As a man who has suffered with depression, my faith and this outlet have saved my life.

I want to show my children that they can follow their dreams and find success and fulfillment in their skin and with following their own pursuits.
