Comments on the Military and Business Ownership My experience in the military has driven me to this time in my life where owning my business is paying tribute to all the training I was given and using the experience of being a United States Veteran to succeed.

Those qualities I admire so much in the veterans I met during my time at the VA is essentially what the military has given me and what will help make me a successful entrepreneur. I AM VA Being a Veteran, was my Inspiration for applying to work at a VA Hospital in order to give back to my fellow veterans who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms.

We are a veteran owned and operated business dedicated to giving back to our service members. Baking Ops was born in in a small kitchen in Iraq and has grown into our current Buy a Dozen, Give a Dozen Maryland-based small business. For every dozen cookies or tray of brownies purchased locally in Maryland, a dozen cookies or tray of brownies are packaged and sent to a deployed service member. There are few things that bring joy to a service member’s heart while deployed like being on the mail recipient list. Being on the list reminds the deployed member that someone back in the states or across the world is thinking of them. Being overseas, especially deployed to a combat zone, can make our service members feel disconnected and as if the world is passing one by. Something as simple as a box of homemade cookies and a little note to show appreciation for their sacrifices can serve as a reminder that they are not forgotten, cared for and missed. Having been on both the giving and receiving end of these care packages, we have learned the best methods to properly preserve delicious, home baked goods. After seeing the most successful (and unsuccessful!) boxes first hand, we devoted our time to testing and perfecting our recipes and packaging techniques to ensure a well-intentioned gift does not end up melted, moldy, or tasting of soap from other items improperly packaged. No one likes delicious brownies with a soapy aftertaste. Our baking and packaging techniques guarantee that does not happen.

Mack Daddy’s Inc. (Mack Daddy's Hawg Sauce) was recently started by my wife, my son, my daughter, and me. The purpose is to showcase products that have a special meaning to my family. The barbecue sauce for example comes from a recipe that has been in our family for about forty years. The name was changed and it is now called “Mack Daddy’s Hawg Sauce". I started out making this in my kitchen with a whole lot of help from my wife. It would take us three or four hours just to put the ingredients in the pot. I originally used this sauce as a promotional item for my sales business. Instead of handing out cups, mugs, pens, and calendars like many salespeople do, I handed out barbecue sauce and it worked for me. This sauce has been all over the world and I have gotten feedback from thousands of people for over twenty years. I can tell you first hand that most people love this sauce for grilling or dipping. About twenty five years ago I invented a cast iron double thick extra heavy duty blackening skillet/griddle called the “Bayou Blackener.” The trademark for that name lapsed and I was unable to reinstate it so we changed the name to the “Mack Daddy’s Blackener.” I sold thousands of these years ago long before the internet and people loved this product. It has now been improved because it comes pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. And I’m proud to say that it is made for my company by Lodge manufacturing, the oldest and largest cast iron cookware Comments on the Military and Business Ownership It helped to teach me what I was capable of doing.
