About Me

Just like everybody else I grew up with a lot of adversity and was forced to grow up at a young age! I knew if I kept doing the same things that my peers and the people around me were doing, it was only a matter of time before I started getting the same consequences that they were. So I made the decision to flip everything I was doing and make it a legal hustle. I decided to learn a trade, because I knew there was a strong possibility I wouldn’t go through with college; I barely graduated high school my right year. Throughout my years of barber college I encountered many struggles, things like it taking me about 2 years to graduate and receive my license, but I also went through having my barber supplies stolen from me a total of 3 different times, twice a in Columbus, OH where I’m from, then once in Atlanta. I have worked at a total of 8 barbershops. That brings me to talk about Atlanta where I now reside. It was a very slow start up and transition for me as far as clients go. I then came up with the idea to make an ad on Craigslist offering free haircuts, just to get my name out there in the community. It started to work as I had people coming to my garage to get their haircut. Not long after that I started working at my very first barber shop in Hiram, GA. My very last experience working in a barbershop was at a barbershop in the heart of the city. From there I transitioned to a suite full time. I’m very big on grooming, good customer service and experience, rather than “just a haircut”…

"I know for me, barbering saved my life! So I want to help do that for the younger generation and help get them started early!"

WHy The ACADEMY?

I want to teach and pour into the youth about business and barbering to give them some type of advantage and a leg up in the world! I want to teach the younger generation a trade and start teaching them at a young age not only how to cut hair, but how to run a business, have an entrepreneur mindset, learn about financial literacy, practice good customer service, learn how to do facials, talk a lot about sanitation … And much more! Nobody can take that away from them once they learn it!
