WELCOME TO THE SHOW
Ecks Concessions was built in the fairgrounds, tested in the hard times, and rebuilt with a whole new purpose: serve great food, create great memories, and never forget how far we've come.
There was a time when I was making around $250,000 and living the life I had dreamed about. I had a business. I had momentum. I had a future I thought was guaranteed.
Addiction changed all of that. Little by little, the things I had built started slipping away until I lost my business, my stability, and almost everything I thought defined me.
I went from having a successful business and a life I was proud of to being completely homeless, living on the street with just my dog and myself.
I didn't have a polished comeback story. I didn't have a perfect plan. I had to start with what I had.
I got clean in a tent by the trucks. That moment wasn't glamorous. It wasn't a movie scene. It was real.
But it was the beginning. I decided that if I was going to rebuild my life, I was going to do it one day, one decision, and one honest day's work at a time.
I went back to work for an old friend in the concession business. Somewhere between the fairs, the lights, the customers, the long days, and the smell of food cooking, something came back to me.
I remembered what I was good at. I remembered what I loved.
I didn't just restart a business.
I restarted my life.

Starting Ecks Concessions again wasn't about pretending the past never happened. It was about taking everything I learned — the good, the bad, and the hard lessons — and building something better.
Today, Ecks is built around the things that matter: quality food, a memorable guest experience, reliable service for event organizers, and the belief that a second chance can become something incredible.
I've restarted my life. I've restarted my business. And this time, I'm building with experience, humility, and a whole lot more wisdom than I had the first time.
We're creating the kind of concession experience people remember: bright lights, bold branding, friendly service, unique menu items, and the unmistakable feeling that the fair is underway.
