I Left It All Behind — And Found My True Calling.

Before I ever thought about coaching Christian barbers and stylists, before I ever said yes to Jesus in the way I was meant to… I was just a guy in the industry. A salon owner. A barber. A hustler. I knew how to build a business, create culture, and crank out revenue. I had multiple locations in Hawaii, a loyal staff, and a reputation for being a little disruptive—in the best way- so I thought. I wasn’t trying to blend in. I never have.

Then everything fell apart.

COVID hit. The industry shifted. And I walked away from it all—salon life, leadership, the beauty world—everything I had built for nearly two decades. I didn’t walk away because I was done. I walked away because God was calling me to something deeper. Something real. And at the time, I didn’t know if I’d ever come back.

I ended up in Texas. Waste management, real estate, ministry. Blue collar stuff. Soul stuff. I had to get low, get humbled, and let God rebuild what I never let Him touch before: my identity.

And wouldn’t you know it? After all that… He called me right back to the chair.

But this time, it’s different.

This time I’m not just here to help people grow their business—I’m here to help Christian beauty professionals own their faith and their career. No more compartmentalizing. No more playing small in your beliefs just to keep clients or coworkers comfortable.

Because if you’re like me, you’ve probably felt that tension. You’ve had moments where your spirit said “Speak up,” but your mind said, “Stay quiet or you’ll ruffle their feathers.” You’ve been behind the chair, doing Kingdom-level heart work, and wondering if it even counts in God’s eyes.

I’m here to tell you it does.

In fact, it matters more than you think.

Please hear that.

That’s why I created the S.E.A. CHANGE Mentorship Program—for barbers, stylists, salon owners, and beauty professionals who are serious about growing in their faith, not just their fades. Who want real transformation, accountability, and practical tools to live out their calling in the industry they love.

We don’t sugarcoat anything in S.E.A. CHANGE. We talk about business. We talk about burnout. We talk about boundaries and biblical truth. We get gritty, we get real, and we grow together.

Because this chair isn’t just a job—it’s a ministry.

And if you feel like God’s been tugging on your heart the same way He did mine, I want to invite you to check it out.

Let’s stop playing defense in our faith and start showing up on purpose.

You’ve been called. Now it’s time to answer.

P.S. If any part of this hit home for you, come take a look at the S.E.A. CHANGE Mentorship Program.

I’d love to walk with you through it.
