Born and raised in Wichita. I grew up in the business doing a little bit of everything. I graduated from K-State in 2015 with a degree in Food Science. Since then, I have served as the Application Specialist.

We have a commercial test kitchen at Walton’s too, which I fortunately get to run and play in on occasion. Because of that, I almost never have to buy any grocery store meat since there is always plenty of sample and test batch summer sausage, jerky, snack sticks, brats, smoked sausage and marinated chicken and steak. It is a rough life but someone has to do it!

I get out to hunt some birds, upland and waterfowl, when I get a chance. I love playing and watching sports and yes, as pointed out on some live streams, I do not care for most beer (unless it is above 10% ABV and not an IPA) and unashamedly like my umbrella drinks.
