Steve Goodyear - A "Spicy" Journey In Food, Golf & UGA Football!

My good friend and neighbor, Steve Goodyear, will be talking about one of everyone's favorite topics...food, of course! (And golf, and certainly UGA football!) We'll talk about food from a slightly different perspective, food flavoring. You see, Steve is the CEO of Summit Hill Foods, a four-generation company that specialized in bringing the ultimate flavor out in many of the foods you love! You'll learn about Steve's early career with Gerber Foods (yes, the baby food company) and his interesting career, with both a diverse geographic journey, which included a stint in Georgia early on, and though working through a number of business mergers & acquisitions, was able to work for the same company for 29 years! And though he attempted to retire early and enjoy a daily round of golf, he soon discovered his calling to return to the food industry (perhaps with a little help from Colleen!) taking a senior leadership role with Summit Hill Foods, and finding himself back in Georgia! We'll talk about the challenges of operating a large food manufacturing company during Covid, the many precautions they had to take to prevent down time, the crazy logistics they are still dealing with when supply chain disruptions, ingredient shortages and rapid inflation occur. And we'll talk about how Steve and his family were actually "lured to the lake" many years ago, fell in love with the area, purchased a lot in Great Waters, but didn't actually build their home here until just a couple of years ago. And, with their son attending college at the University of Georgia, we will certainly talk about the UGA football team, recently joining the short list of back-to-back National Champions and the possibly of making it three! Indeed, Go Dawgs!!
