Who or what inspires you to cook?

My mother, from Little Rock, AR, inspired me with the love she put into every meal. Her passion shaped my approach to cooking, blending flavor with purpose. This combined with 20+ years in the fitness industry, I’ve honed that passion by creating nutritious, flavorful meals that make healthy eating enjoyable. I started taking classic lunches and dinners and gave them a wholesome twist, proving that great taste and wellness can go hand in hand.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My favorite dish is a simple one. I am a Kansas City boy so I love to make BBQ Chicken with Roasted Cinnamon & Sea Salt Sweet Potatoes and Smoked Cabbage.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to expand marketing for my Texas-based meal prep company, Prepscribed Meals, making healthy eating more accessible. My goal is to connect with the community, educate on nutrition, and remove barriers to healthier choices. Funds would support targeted advertising, local outreach, and brand awareness, as well as help secure a dedicated commissary kitchen to scale operations. We offer affordable, nutritious meals—more convenient than fast food, without the compromise.
