Born and raised in Denver, I found my passion for barbering in an unexpected place—while incarcerated, cutting my own hair and learning through pure determination. With over 15 years of experience, razor fades and tapers have become my specialty, but what I truly love is connecting with people and helping them feel their best.

My Story
I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, where I spent my early years before making choices as a teenager that ultimately led to incarceration. I won’t sugarcoat it—there are decisions I made that I’m not proud of. But those same choices shaped me, challenged me, and pushed me toward the man I am today. It was during my time inside that I was forced to take a hard look at myself and ask: Who do I want to be? What kind of life do I want to live? No matter where I was or how long I had to be there, I knew one thing for sure—I wanted better for myself.
That’s where barbering came in.
My first introduction to the craft was cutting my own hair. I’ve always loved a challenge, and something about picking up those clippers lit a fire in me. I didn’t just want to learn how to cut my hair—I wanted to master it. That passion turned into purpose, and I began cutting others’ hair too. Over 15 years later, that same spark still burns. Every day behind the chair, I grow more in love with what I do. There’s something powerful about watching someone walk in heavy and walk out lighter, all because you gave them a fresh cut and a space to feel seen.
I specialize in razor fades and tapers—that’s my bread and butter—but it goes beyond technique for me. What I value most is the connection I get to build with each person in my chair. I’ve had moments that will stay with me forever, like the time a client walked in looking completely defeated. He hadn’t had a haircut in a long time, and you could feel the weight he was carrying. When I showed him the mirror after his cut, he smiled big and said, “Alright, now I’m ready to go find me a wife.” That moment right there—that’s why I do this.
Barbering gives me a platform not just to cut hair, but to listen, to encourage, to uplift. I take pride in creating a space where everyone feels welcome, no matter who you are or where you’ve been. You’ll always get a genuine greeting from me, because you belong here.
I live by integrity, honesty, and commitment—to my craft, to my growth, and to the people I meet each day. I’ve been given a second chance at life, and I’m making the most of it—no shortcuts, no skipped beats. No matter where this journey takes me, I’ll keep doing what I love: helping people feel good, one cut at a time.
