Love Big....
Everything good seems to start with food, music, family and friends. Conecuh Sausage is an Alabama treasure that has impacted the southeast and beyond. A taste that is undeniably off the chain fantastic! I grew up on Conecuh. I was playing in a charity golf tournament with my close friend George Sellers and we approached the 1st tee and we could smell the taste coming off the grill. It was going to be a good day regardless of how we played. So, fast forward to a jingle I wrote for Conecuh Sausage called, “Get your Grill On”, eight seasons of television, and countless events that lead me to becoming a brand representative for the best company on earth!…. It has been nothing short of amazing. I love sharing the love of Conecuh and meeting new friends along the way.
One of the by-products of this job has been the people you meet and the friendships you share over the years.
As most of you know who follow me, the joy of working with friends like “John “Hound” Brown, and Carl “the cook” Lewis, as well as being a regular guest on the legendary “John Boy and Billy Show” is a highlight in the journey. We traveled the southeast as far as Dallas, TX performing and sharing the love of music, food and meeting amazing people. While headlining the World Food Championships we even penned the song “Eat it Up” for the event itself. This part of the journey has forged many friendships with amazing pitmasters, chefs and cooks. Bringing people together, one bite, one song, and one event at a time.
Recently my journey has taken me down a path that has opened my eyes even more, and what started out as a simple way of contribution during the tough times of Covid, has become a passion.
When all of the normal entertainment/food/music festivals and venues were canceled, I made a phone call to check on a friend who happens to be a Fire Chief. That call gave me a purpose and it has forever changed my life and given me a new appreciation for a profession that I believe is a calling.
For the past almost 3 years I’ve traveled the southeast as far as Texas sharing the love of Conecuh Sausage, saying thank you, and becoming educated on what our 1st Responders have to do to protect and serve our communities. Even as other events were being scheduled after things got back to normal, I continued the journey with our 1st Responders. I’m excited to share even more with you in the coming months! We call this “Sharing the Love” not just because we share an amazing product at every event, but because this is what our 1st responders do for us every day!
We've started taking this experience to the next level with filming interviews and sharing their stories, so, stay connected, we are planning much more!
I am grateful for this part of the “sharing the love” journey. You can follow me @justkevinsport ( FB & Instagram) and you can visit Conecuh Sausage ( conecuhsausage.com )
