Walt H. Email and Phone Number
Having grown up on my family's farms in Eastern NC, my journey in the food industry and beyond has been nothing short of transformative. Over the past decade, I've cultivated a wealth of experience across various roles in the restaurant realm, developing a keen understanding of customer service, team coordination, and operational dynamics.Since 2016, I've been fortunate to work under the guidance of the NCDA and FDA, where I've immersed myself in federal regulations, diligently building and maintaining operational and administrative systems to ensure compliance. This tenure has also afforded me the opportunity to develop and implement comprehensive training programs to disseminate this vital knowledge. Notably, since 2018, I've played a pivotal role in expanding Biscuit Head's cannery operations, successfully placing Biscuit Head's wholesale products on the shelves of over 140+ retail locations throughout the Southeast United States. Additionally, I've fostered strong partnerships with three distribution partners while continuing to deliver culinary delights to Biscuit Head restaurants, upholding the standards that have propelled this local chain to success since 2013.If you'd like to discover more about our wholesale offerings or engage in a conversation about how my skill set aligns with your organization's goals, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
