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!!!

I have just recently had my stuck Bitcoin assets removed from my account with a certain investment platform on Facebook, thanks to J E T H A C K S RECOVERY CENTRE. The man who dealt with my case was awesome. Initially when I decided to look for any tangible solution I didn’t imagine Digital Assets Recovery Firm would be the answer. I have never worked with hackers before but desperate times they say calls for desperate measures and I also had a very good feeling in the firms capabilities to accurately handle my case as they have done so many times in the past for his clients. I first ventured into cryptocurrency investment in 2021 with a friend as an investment into the future, the potential of cryptocurrency is limitless but unfortunately, this also has its downside. Initially, I was hoarding my cryptocurrency assets on Blockchain and making slow but consistent profits. However, I decided to register with a cryptocurrency trading company earlier this year with the purpose of accumulating more bitcoins, which nearly resulted in a massive loss for me. Shortly after investing over 700,000 usd with the company, they suddenly shutdown their website and abruptly cut off all means of communication with me. I felt betrayed and unable to eat properly for almost a month. The pain of losing my hard-earned money so quickly was overwhelming, and I couldn’t stop blaming myself for trusting a superficially legitimate company without conducting thorough research. It was during this period that I thought about doing some research’s online for solution, I came across reviews about a crypto recovery firm ‘’J E T H A C K S RECOVERY CENTRE" that has experience in helping individuals recover their digital assets and improve their financial situation. I contacted them through their Telegram username @ J E T H A C K S S and provided them with details of the investment I had made with the scammers. They assured me that my case would be accurately handled. 2 days later I got a message from the team that my funds had been successfully recouped which was confirmed immediately I opened my wallet to my greatest surprise, this single act resurrected my life for good and am forever grateful to the team for their invaluable help.
I had a very terrible Experience with a scam cryptocurrency investment platform. It all started when I got a message from a trader on my Telegram who told me about their crypto investment platform and all its benefits for crypto newbies. They assured me of a decent fixed ROI on every of my investment weekly which got me really interested, the idea of a secondary source of income appealed to me because I was closing in on retirement and I haven’t got enough savings to last me for when I have retired. I ended up investing a total of $108,000.00 worth of bitcoin over the period of 3 months with assurances of successful withdrawals upon request which I did a few successful trial withdrawals in the first month. However the third withdrawal didn’t go as expected and when I reached out to support I was instructed to clear some fees first which my referrer also confirmed it was safe, long story cut short.. I cleared 4 different fees but still did not receive my funds.. but they kept asking for more money so I realized that I was being scammed. I couldn’t afford to lose my life savings, that would be the end of me. I was devastated and depressed for days before eventually deciding to research online situations like mine luckily I might find something positive and that was how I came across reviews about J E T H A C K S RECOVERY CENTRE. I read several impressive reviews about them from various scam victims and how the firm has helped them in recovering their stolen or lost crypto assets so I decided to contact them for help. Fortunately the team lived up to his reputation, it was on the third day when I got a deposit confirmation on my blockchain wallet which I checked and confirmed, I couldn’t have been more happier. You can also contact J E T H A C K S RECOVERY CENTRE as they are capable of helping you retrieve back whatever you may have lost to online investment scammers.

People should be wary and careful of all these Recovery stories and companies because most of them are thieves behind the keyboard.
I fell victim to another scam here when I searched and looked up ways to recover my stolen BITCOIN and USDT in the hands of a recovery company/hacker known as “Final Destination “ Recovery services.
He posed and made me believe he could recover my stolen funds which after wasting my time and resources he ended up stealing more from me.
I made a police report and luckily on my way home, Janet an officer gave me the contact of Refundd Polici Recovery Services as she made me believe they assisted in recovering fully her cousin’s USD750.000 that was lost in fake investment platform which turned out to be a ponzi.
I contacted them immediately and unbelievably they got my whole funds back after a little back and forth because at first I had some doubts but went ahead with them because I was convinced officer Janet wouldn’t deceive nor lie to me.

I would like to pass on a huge thank you and appreciation to the most proficient Team at J E T H A C K S RECOVERY CENTRE for his persistence and support through this frustrating time… After an online crypto investment gone wrong that I wasn’t aware about until I got denied my payout attempts on several occasions for the most cheapest of reasons however since my backs were against the wall, I decided to go play along with them until there wasn’t any more plays to make. I exhausting all means of financial assistance, I decided to turn to cybersecurity firms for intervention and support. Words cannot truly describe the profound effect your work have had on my life. If you had not have been referred to me by a reputable source I would have assumed this was a scam too. In 3 days you took me from someone who couldn’t afford a decent meal, to becoming a home owner. Because of the location of our new home I was able to get my son, who is into football, into one of the best programs in the country. He is already a different kid. I have no words for what that means to my wife and I. From my family to all of you thank you. You always were very professional and empathetic towards my case, and every email I sent was responded to the same day. Prior to learning about your firm, I never thought I could have gotten out from under the weight of my poor financial decisions But thanks to you I’m a homeowner now. I have recommended you to a few friends at my work. Oh and I also just acquired a new car for my wife, thanks to you and your team, you’ve singlehandedly made me a better husband and father, there’s no repaying that in this lifetime, I can only refer your top service to others as well , you can find J E T H A C K S RECOVERY CENTRE through any of the following contact details,
