ABOUT MIKE
Personal

Mike Hedrick was born on the banks of the New River on the North Carolina Coast. He grew up on BBQ and Pulled Pork was some of his first solid food. After years of growing up as a country boy camping and cooking Mike began Grilling and Barbecuing. After years of cooking for family and friend Mike began his ongoing passion to make the best barbecue in the world.

In his first season on the National Barbecue Competition Circuit Mike's Pit Pirate BBQ Team had an amazing Three Top 10's and a 3rd Place Overall Pork at the National Capital Barbecue Battle on Pennsylvania Ave., Washington DC. Mike is now the proud Owner/Chef of Pit Pirate BBQ and does Catering from 50 to 500 and also Concession Sales and is currently looking for a Restaurant location.

Knowing that serving is more than food Mike organized "Operation BBQ for Our Troops: Walter Reed and collected up donations and and got other BBQ Teams to come and feed 500 of the wounded Soldiers and their Caregivers. When asked by the Assistant Secretary of Defense Health Affairs why he would go to such efforts Mike said “That sir. Seeing the smiles on their faces…the lord says to go and serve, and BBQ is just what I do.”

Mike was the Pit Boss for NASCAR Legend and Fox Sports Commentator Jeff Hamond's Pit Crew Barbeque Competition Team. The Nation got it's first look at Mike when he cooked live on National Television for NASCAR Hall of Famer Junior Johnson on Fox & Friends just before the Daytona 500. As Official Fan Reporter for Richmond International Raceway he collected behind the scene Photos and Videos for use at the Track and for RIR. As Guest Chef and Recipe Author for Char-Broil Grills Mike was flown out for a week of Celebrity TV Pork Smack Downs at the World Championship of Barbeque Memphis in May.

Currently Mike is the Pitmaster aka Pit Boss for The National Tailgating League where he is building the web site Recipe Database with many Award Winning Tips & Tricks and Recipes along with more How-To Videos.

Spiritual

The Bible

I believe that the Holy Bible is the verbally
inspired Word of God; that it is inerrant; and
that it is our sole authority for faith and practice. 

God
I believe there is only one true God; eternally
existing in three Persons –
Father, Son and Holy Spirit –
each of whom possesses equally all of the divine attributes.

Jesus Christ
I believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man,
 that He was born of a virgin, that He lived a sinless life,
 died for sinners, rose from the dead,
ascended into heaven,
and that He will return to the earth one day.

The Holy Spirit 
I believe that the Holy Spirit is fully God
and that He enlightens the minds of sinners,
and indwells, seals, comforts,
and guides believers into the truth.
