Since his appearance on MasterChef, Newton has raised more than $700,000 for local charities auctioning off his Private Dining Experiences, hosting cooking demonstrations and more! Given a second chance to pursue what he loves, Newton is passionate about giving back. When not in the #uglykitchen at The Double N Ranch Texas whipping up his Cowboy Cuisine or working Farm & Ranch real estate, you'll find him working with local 4-H programs, in the culinary classroom mentoring students, or using his time and skills to raise funds for local charities.
