WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE A BARBER?<br />
I was always an artist, not an<br />
academic. I struggled in school, so I<br />
knew college was not for me. I would<br />
head into town every couple of weeks<br />
to get my hair cut – the place I went<br />
was Cut & Sew in Temple Bar. The<br />
atmosphere in the shop was always<br />
buzzing, and the staff there had a<br />
passion for what they were doing.<br />
It was where I wanted to be.<br />
WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR?<br />
I worked at a charity event set up<br />
by Jason Brophy, a barber I look<br />
up to. I was given the opportunity<br />
to work alongside him for the day<br />
and, after the event, Jason told me<br />
I had potential and later asked me<br />
if I would be interested in working<br />
with him. My other main highlight is<br />
more recent – joining Cut & Sew, and<br />
working in the Dundrum shop.<br />

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS’ TIME?<br />
I would like to be working for myself, with my<br />
own shop and a dedicated team of barbers. It<br />
would also be great to have my own education<br />
courses to teach the next generation of barbers<br />
who are as eager to learn as me.<br />
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM BARBERING GIG?<br />
It would be to share a stage with talented<br />
barbers from around the world at a<br />
convention where we could share our skills<br />
and experiences with people who have the<br />
same passion. I want to inspire others.<br />
