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 I first encountered the Ontega group investment online, it felt like I had struck gold. I had been looking for a way to make my savings grow, and the promises of high returns for little effort seemed like an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Like many others, I was drawn in by the glossy advertisements and impressive testimonials from “satisfied” investors. Little did I know that I was about to fall into a trap that would leave me devastated. I invested a portion of my life savings, convinced that I was making a wise financial decision. Everything seemed perfect In the beginning. I received regular updates about my investment’s growth, and the platform even allowed me to withdraw a small portion of my funds as a test. This only fueled my excitement and led me to invest even more. But then the withdrawals stopped. What had once been a smooth process turned into a nightmare. Every time I attempted to process a withdrawal, I was met with an error messages. I tried to contact customer support, but I was made to sort some fees to clear my withdrawals and when I couldn’t afford to pay the fees, my emails were ignored. It dawned on me that I had been scammed. Panic and despair washed over me, I began searching for solutions.. luckily for me, I discovered JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE service that proved to help individuals like me regain their lost funds.

The thought of losing your hard earned money is always unbearable. I felt an insurmountable sense of betrayal and foolishness which weighed heavily on me and left me very devastated. I’m very cautious with my finances, but I was approached with what seemed like a foolproof high-yield investment opportunity, I decided to take the plunge.

In total, I invested $376,550 USD drawn by the potential to significantly grow my savings. For the first few months, everything seemed to be going smoothly. My account showed impressive gains, and I even received a few small payouts. Then, one day, it all came crashing down. It became one withdrawal fee after another till my account was wiped clean, and all communications ceased. My first response action was to report the incident to the authorities, but their investigation moved at a snail’s pace, and they warned me that the chances of recovery were slim. Desperate for help, I began searching for alternatives and came across JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE. Their reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and their process was clearly outlined, which gave me a shred of hope.

All my life, I’ve always been passionate about supporting startups and believed in the power of innovation. So when I came across an online crowdfunding platform for a promising tech startup, I didn’t hesitate to invest $25,000. The startup’s pitch was convincing, they had a clear roadmap, a dynamic team, and what seemed like a viable product. However, as the months went by, updates from the company became scarce. The platform hosting the startup also started giving vague responses when I inquired about the delays. Then, one day, both the startup and the crowdfunding platform disappeared without a trace. My heart sank. The thought of losing my hard-earned savings was devastating. I had no idea where to begin or how to recover my funds. I spent countless hours researching my options, which only deepened my sense of hopelessness. Then, in a stroke of luck, I came across reviews of JETHACKS RECOVERY FIRM on a hackers review material online. The testimonials on their site gave me some hope, and after a brief consultation, I decided to hire them. The team was empathetic and immediately took charge of my case. After 3 grueling days of work, the team delivered the news I thought I’d never hear, they had successfully recovered the full amount of my investment. I felt an indescribable gratitude and relief soon as I got the funds in my wallet. They didn’t just recover my money, they restored my faith in the possibility of justice, even in the face of such a sophisticated scam. Their professionalism, expertise, and relentless pursuit of my case made all the difference. I cannot thank them enough for giving me a second chance when I thought all was lost.

I always dreamed of growing my savings through forex trading, and when I found an online platform that promised consistent returns, it seemed like a dream come true. I invested a total of $60,000 over several months, lured by the promise of high yields and low risk. For a while, everything seemed legitimate, the platform was sleek, the customer service was responsive, and I was even able to withdraw some profits initially. But then, without warning, everything changed. My account balance vanished and the website became inaccessible thereafter, and all attempts to contact the company went unanswered. I was left in a state of shock and despair after realizing I had been scammed. I felt like I had lost everything. Just when I was about to give up, I stumbled upon JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE online. I was hesitant to trust anyone after what I had been through, but something about their transparent approach and positive reviews gave me a glimmer of hope.
