Where It All Started

From a young age, I was called to serve.

Whether it was family gatherings, summer visits, or special occasions, I found joy in taking care of others. I didn't just want to be around—I wanted to serve. That heart to give, to create, and to bring people together showed up early.

The kitchen became my place of expression.

Even as a teenager, I was known for doing things with excellence. From frying chicken the right way to making sure every detail was on point, I took pride in creating something people could truly enjoy.

And what I loved most?

Seeing the reaction.
The excitement.
The joy.
That feeling never left.

The Vision Was Given

After serving 11 years in the United States Marine Corps and later working in Information Technology, something was missing.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, I carried with me the lessons of struggle, survival, resilience, and faith. But I knew there was something greater ahead.

I eventually repositioned to Texas in pursuit of bigger opportunities, greater purpose, and the vision God placed inside of me.

I was sitting behind a desk, but deep down, I knew I wasn’t where I was meant to be.

In 2005, God gave me a vision.

Not just an idea — but a full concept. I could see it clearly. Every detail. Every experience. It wasn’t something I created — it was something I was shown.

And as I began to draw it out and revisit it over time, the vision continued to come to life in ways I couldn’t ignore.

2015

Faith, Timing, and Obedience

Years passed. The vision stayed with me, but I understood something important—I had to wait.

Wait on God’s timing.
Wait for the right moment.
Wait until everything aligned.

Then in 2015, I heard it clearly:

“Now.”

No hesitation. No confusion. Just obedience.

THE VISION COMES TO LIFE

That moment changed everything.

Phat Wings was born—not just as a business, but as a calling fulfilled.

What had been inside of me for over a decade was now real. The energy, the experience, the flavors—it all came together exactly the way it was meant to.

And the response?

It was everything I felt as a kid… multiplied

People weren’t just eating—they were experiencing something.

MORE THAN food

Today, that same purpose drives everything we do.
Every flavor is crafted with intention.
Every product is built from real experience.
Every detail matters.

Because this was never just about making food.

It’s about creating something that brings people together, sparks joy, and delivers excellence every single time.

This isn’t just food.
This is purpose on a plate.
