My name is David Haywood, and I am a proud Army and Navy Veteran, honorably discharged from both branches of service. My cooking career began in the United States Army, where I attended Advanced Individual Training (AIT) and became a chef—a role I served in throughout my military career and truly enjoyed. After leaving the military, I became a cooking instructor, training others to work in the restaurant industry. I later returned to school and earned a degree in Dietetic Technology.

After graduation, I relocated to Iowa and launched David’s Catering, while simultaneously opening a restaurant called Mom’s on Main Street, named in honor of my mother. Around that time, I began entering barbecue competitions—winning in both 2007 and 2010, with a break in 2009.

Eventually, I transitioned into food processing, with Hy-Vee grocers, such as Fry’s, becoming some of my main purveyors. After moving to Arizona, I rebranded my company from David’s Catering to Chef Smoking Bone’s Food. My mother always told me, “If you know something about food, clothes, and hair, you can always make a living”—and I’ve found that to be absolutely true.
