- Why you chose to be in this industry & how long?

I always answer this question with "My story is my moms story!" - Judith Atang is the reason i not only chose this industry but the reason i'm in love with it now. As a prolific hairstylist since the 80's (i'm not biased at all), she built an incredible career for herself, started her own salon company, all while raising and supporting her amazing family. I wish a lot more people knew how amazing her journey was as a stylist and selfishly want to keep her legacy alive while telling her incredible story. Ive been a salon baby, and become a salon professional in 2010!

- What's your favorite hobby to do on a day off?

Not sure if this is a Hobby LOL but i love being a dad. I keep myself pretty busy as my undiagnosed ADHD keeps me pretty involved in a ton of things ranging from my obsession with Branding/Marketing, Technology innovation (crypto, AI), Rumaging.Garage Sales, and collecting trading cards (primarily basketball/Veefriends).

For me its how tight knit the team is. Very family oriented, as well as very supportive. This has been my experience since day 1.
