Samuel is one of the best friends of Jean-Philippe, one of the co-founders of BBQ Québec.

"I've known JP since I was young, we used to play together every night, so of course, when he started barbecuing, I started too!" he says.

After a brief stint as a salesman in the automotive world, Samuel helps Jean-Philippe and Max while they work for the family hardware store.

While Max and JP sell a bit of everything, Samuel is the first employee to sell exclusively barbecues.

“I believe I am the first official employee of BBQ Québec.”
