Meet Kheston & Tiffany Dawkins | Owners of MySix Cooking & Catering

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kheston & Tiffany Dawkins and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kheston & Tiffany, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
Have power over yourself. This means to have control over your own thoughts, actions, and emotions. Essentially meaning you are in charge of your own life and decisions. This is something I instill in my kids daily.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
The name MySix comes from our 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls. In 2019, my wife and I decided to quit our full-time jobs to run our own business. For us, taking on financial risks, giving up stable income, dealing with long hours and just the responsibility without the security of a traditional employment structure was very difficult, especially in the first 2 years. We wanted to have more control over our freedom but not only that, we were tired of the traditional 9-5. I thought for days of something my wife and I were good at… that’s when I thought of a food truck. We both were good at cooking, although I have more of a passion for it, she enjoys it as well.
We purchased our food trailer in 2019 from a friend of one of my coworkers. It was a hand-built trailer and older, so it needed a lot of repairs. I must admit that was the most challenging part of the business physically and financially, however I have ALWAYS had faith. Running a business, you have to take risk, and some things may be riskier than others but it’s all about your belief. Changing our mindsets has allowed us to approach risk taking with a positive and open mindset which has made it easier to deal with obstacles.
Our commitment to our craft is what makes us stand out. We thoroughly enjoy what we do, bringing joy to people through delicious meals. It combines our artistic side with the ability to directly impact someone’s experience through taste and presentation. Consistency is a part of the commitment as well. Being able to give our customers a predictable and truthsworthy experience is what we do best. Our customers know the service is top tier and they know the food is going to be amazing every time!
