I love teaching Barbering because it is more than a Profession- it's an opportunity to make a lasting impact on students lives and careers.

I became a Barber Teacher because I love my craft and I believe in its power to transform lives. With 30 years experience, I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation, showing them that Barbering isn't just a trade, it's a career with 100k earning potential and an alternative to college. I give back to my community by shaping skilled professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit, helping them build independence and success. Teaching isn't just my job... it's my legacy!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceOne of my proudest moments as a Barber Teacher was seeing a former student earn his Barber License and land a job at my friend's shop. Sitting in his chair for service I felt pure pride. Fast Forward, he opened his own Barbershop, turning his passion into a thriving business. Watching his journey from student to entrepreneur proved the power of mentorship and hard work. Moments like these remind me of why I Teach.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would purchase some new equipment for my students to make sure they are up to speed with technology and competitive with the current industry standards. I would clear some personal debt... So I can breathe a little bit! Lol Providing a Baber scholarship to a deserving student has always been a dream of mine, so I would make that happen. Lastly, I would treat myself and purchase some exquisite tools to work with.
