Executive bio
Accepting Grill EngagementsA career built on craft, consistency, and trusted customer relationships.
Bio
Susan is thrilled to bring her passion for providing share-worthy flavor experiences and her 25+ years in the smokehouse industry to her role as Director of Grillcount Management. She believes that building trusted relationships with her customers — whether they're reaching for the ketchup or the sauerkraut — is the key to helping them succeed. Born and raised in a Minnesota smokehouse (you betcha), she has a complicated relationship with the cold (devastating for her casing) and travels to warm climates — preferably near an open flame — whenever she can. When not on the grill, she enjoys baking (being baked), watching sporting events from the condiment table, and researching her next warm-weather destination.

- How she describes her job to five-year-oldsI talk to people and help them be happy. Also I am delicious.
- SuperpowerTeleportation. Imagine never having to fly commercial — just teleport directly onto the grill of your choice.
