5 years ago today I graduated barber school. Throughout the years I stacked my plate full and I worked my ass off to achieve what I wanted. Nothing was giving to me, but it was earned. Barbering isn’t for everyone. You have to be obsessed in order to make it. This industry isn’t for lazy people. This industry isn’t for people who like sleeping. You have to say yes when all you wanna do is say no. Because if you’re not grinding, somebody else is. But that’s what makes me love it so much. Sometimes I feel way in over my head but when I get myself out it makes it that much sweeter. It’s a beautiful industry and I couldn’t picture myself doing anything else. I met all the right people and said yes at the right opportunities to get to where I am. I never take a second to look back at what I’ve done but today I can. I can give myself some praise on days like that today. 5 years in and I own two barbershops. I couldn’t be more proud of myself. Hard work always wins, especially with the right people in your corner. So thank you all for the continued support. Truepenny Forever.

Another lap around the sun. Another chapter closed. Another Chapter begins.

I’m extremely grateful for this past year. So many great memories, so many opportunities taken, so much accomplished. All while being surrounded by the greatest people. I’ve been very fortunate these last handful of years. Every year has seemed to get better than the last since I decided to take hold of my life and live it how I wanted. That being said I can’t wait to see where this upcoming year takes me, I’m not letting off the gas anytime soon, I promise. Cheers to Larry Bird #33.
