There's something powerful about what happens when people gather around a table.

Next week, we're partnering with Hope Harbor Housing as they host a Volunteer Call Out Meeting — bringing together people ready to serve and help launch their first sober-living house for men right here in our community.

We get to do what we love: feed people well and make room for something meaningful to happen.

The menu? Smoked Brisket. Queso Mac. Crispy Agave Sprouts. 🔥

We believe great food is common ground — and that a good meal can set the tone for a conversation that changes someone's life.

If you'd like to help cover the cost of this dinner and support the work Hope Harbor Housing is doing, we'd love to have you at the table in that way.

👇 Every dollar goes directly to the meal and hospitality.

Thank you for helping us make room. 🙏

People ask me all the time — when are you opening a restaurant? When are you adding more trucks? That’s not where we’re going.

I’ve spent over 25 years in restaurants. I know what food does to people. It’s common ground. It can serve the soul. That’s something I learned early on — it’s why I keep doing this.

But corporate kitchens aren’t built around that. They’re built around margin. Consistency at the cost of quality and creativity. Scaling a brand in the name of popularity and profit. True connection gets lost and you lose growth in the places that matter most. I was done with that.

So I built something I could actually stand behind. Something I could drive both figuratively and literally. A food truck. My name on it. My standards. My relationships. The freedom to show up fully for my family and my faith without compromising either.

Every person who walks up to that window — I don’t know what they’re carrying that day. But I know they’re made in God’s image. And I can control two things: how I treat them and what I put in front of them. Sometimes that makes all the difference.

And somewhere along the way, that conviction got too big for the truck.

So we built Gumptious Works Co. — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit using great food to bring people together. Creating spaces where real neighbors sit around real tables. Environments designed for belonging. Community that’s actually happening in the room.

The vision goes back to a story Jesus tells. The Prodigal Son comes home with nothing to offer. And before he can say a word, the table is already being set. Not because of what he did. Because of who he was. That’s grace.

Too many people have been told the table has to be earned. That belonging is conditional. That’s what we’re pushing back on. A table set by grace. You’re my neighbor. Made in God’s image. That’s the narrative we want our community to live inside of.

Because of the abundance of grace Christ has poured out on me, I’m leveraging everything I’ve built — my brand, my relationships, my talents — to set tables with a feast and open seats. Using radical hospitality to show truth, hope and belonging to my neighbors.

We’re just getting started. Follow along at Gumptious Works Co on Facebook or visit gumptiousworks.com
