G Hughes (Ira “Guy” Hughes) began his journey in the small town of Braceville Ohio, where he was raised in a close-knit community with his mother and father, and three siblings. Guy grew up filled with special childhood memories of summertime, watching his mother standing over a smoke-filled BBQ pit, slathering finger-licking sauce on chicken and ribs. Other than Christmas, summer was the best time of the year for Guy – jam-packed with outdoor fun and quality family-time that centered around cookouts.
