Describe yourself in five words: Dad, husband, barber, friend and sex symbol.
You made it to Team GIBS. What’s your secret? I’m a 26 year, overnight success story. Write and draw your dreams on paper in details. My dreams have appeared. over and over and over.
What are you known for? I grew up in a small town; I had to take care of everybody. Age, race, short, long, beards and shaves. I have found my hair tricks cross over; the real depth comes through.
What do you want us to know about you? I love to cut hair. I’m constantly visualizing to the flow. It’s a live instant art project. I was in the business for 13+ yrs when I was featured in Milady Textbook. Then I started working for the Art of Shaving doing popup shaves in store. Working in New York and Boston regularly changed my world. I was hired to teach P!nk how to do a fake shave for a movie in which she plays a barber. Next thing I know I’m on tour with Eminem... then Dave Mathews. It’s been fun.
Favorite GIBS combo? Hitman Texturizing Spray and Outlaw Hair Spackle. I do three to four sprays of Hitman and blow-dry… another three to four sprays, more blow dry. Then light with Outlaw. It rocks. Every time.
Tips for aspiring barbers/stylists coming up in the game? I have been gifted the ability to take my tools across the world because I put in 110%. Don’t treat this profession as a side hustle.
How you enjoying Team GIBS? The GIBS family is something I didn’t see until it happened. It’s Merry Christmas, Happy New Year AND Thanksgiving with 20plus like-minded hair professionals. It’s powerful.
Eminem, Dave Matthews… You do a lot of big names. Surprisingly, they have a hard time finding a barber to take care of the whole crew. That’s why the small town barber is a great fit to take care of them all. With Dave Mathews, I do 62 people, from Dave to the bus driver. With Eminem, I do 16 people and my favorite is shaving Paul Rosenberg’s head. Paul is Em’s manager and CEO of Def Jam Records. They take me around the world to do it.
What makes a great barber/stylist? Passion to cut, shave and style your friends. Everyone that sits in my chair is an instant friend.
You bring more to the table: I tour as a barber and I love it. I have two shops in my hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts and started my new chapter in October 2017, with Barber Authority Nashville. Stay tuned!!!

When you’re in the process of identifying an Ethical Recovery firm for recovering your funds, you will often randomly stumble across scammers posing as hackers to scam you of whatever you have left, such experiences can completely invalidate the impression and believe most people have of Real hackers. In my case, I stumbled upon a few fake recovery agents that promised to recover my funds for me but they’d end disappearing on me after paying some upfront service fee without completing the job for which I hired them for And each time, I am forced to pivot or start over completely. If you’ve only worked or come across unethical recovery firms, you will be instinctually compelled to doubt the next team or agent you run into and while it is necessary to be cautious when dealing with recovery agents to avoid being scammed again, it is definitely worth the efforts as there are still many ethical and legitimate recovery firms out there like the J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E. I was fortunate to learn about this team through a Facebook post by a previous client of theirs, I quickly messaged her and asked for more details which she provided and assured me they would be of help, well just like she said, The J E T H A C K S Team lived up to their reputation and I am well pleased with their level of professionalism, the first recovery agents took like forever to accomplish nothing whereby it only required less than 48 hours for a professional and competent Recovery hackers to trace down my funds and recoup everything back to my account. For that reason, i urge anyone looking for recovery firms to reach out to J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E , hopefully you could still have a chance at retrieving any assets or funds lost to scammers , their contact details are as follows :

Ladies & gentlemen, l’d like to introduce you to J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E ( J E T H A C K S 7 @ G M A I L . C O M / Telegram ID @ J E T H A C K S S ). I worked closely with this team on the case of recovering my lost Bitcoin assets after reading many impressive testimonials about how they are able to help scam victims. Locating this recovery company wasn’t completely a smooth journey, I was forced to think outside the box if I was ever going to have a chance at regaining access to an overdue lifetime worth of investments stuck with a binary option trading company. So this was what happened to me, typical scammer routine… I met this broker on Instagram , he convinces me to invest with a certain binary options trading company that he brokers for , initially I started with a small amount which he guaranteed would be appropriately managed but in actuality, it was all a fake balance so the numbers I witnessed grow in my account over the months were fake, everything started to unravel when I decided to withdraw a nice percentage of my profits so I could purchase a more comfortable home for my family. At first I wasn’t sure what I was dealing with even after clearing some fees I was still not able to access the funds so it was really affecting my mental health but I later came to learn that the whole operation was organized by the broker agent and the website was only a clone of the original website so all payments were directly into his wallet never the real company thanks to J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E for opening my eyes to this. By definition, hackers are very private but they were the only ones that could possibly salvage my situation since this was a cyber scam issue and I am really thankful I didn’t deal with the unethical ones because they’re many of them that end up causing more damage to you, the team kept to their words and recovered back my funds from the scammers wallet within 48 hours.
At Facebook, I connected with a crypto investment group called Capitalix fx. Every year the group manager would select their top 30 most active investors getting well engaged in the trading activities in the group and reward them accordingly through a variety of trading packages including a multi-investors package where you can invest together with a certain group to unlock a 500% profit return. Selected Investors would quickly top up their portfolio balance and alert the VPs of their group who will in turn confirm their buy-in, then we’re supposed to await the trading period of 2weeks before receiving our returns. Last year, I was among the 30 selected investors even though I was still in my first 6 months, I was quite surprised but I then It felt like an opportunity to amass more profits from the company, so I quickly gathered as much funds as I could and deposited into my account as per the companies terms and conditions. One week in and the company website shut down, i tried speaking with the group admin but she wouldn’t respond to any of my messages and she went on to remove me when i threatened to report her account. I resorted to hiring a hacking recovery company in a last ditch attempt to save my family, I had lost everything and we were now feeding from hand to mouth. As luck would have it, I came to know about a reputable and trustworthy recovery company J E T H A C K S R E C O V E R Y C E N T R E through a twitter post which quickly prompted me to get in touch with the team using one of their contacts info that I had copied from the post Email: J E T H A C K S 7 @ G M AIL . COM or Telegram username @ J E T H A C K S S . It didn’t take long before their team responded to me and they accepted to take on my case after reviewing everything, within 48 hours the team anonymously extracted back my funds from the scammers back into my wallet, they’re my knight in shining armor and I strongly recommend them to everyone else out there

I lost my marriage after 2 years and it was a horrible experience for me. My wife left me and my son and everything happened beyond my control and I never knew few people around me engineered my wife and turned her against me just because I choose to build my family and focus more on it. I had to seek help because I know I did not do anything to have my marriage crashed. Dr Isikolo helped me and a lot was revealed to me on what transpired. He cast a love reunion spell that bonded my wife and I back together and the whole evil my family did against me was revealed.
