Victor’s Story

"There's inspiration everywhere, all you have to do is look closely. Mostly, I find that the people you surround yourself with are going to lift you higher."

I have many memorable moments in my eleven years as a barber. One that will always stand out to me is the time a young client brought me a bag of Halloween candy. Yes, it was just candy, but it meant a lot to the kid, and it meant a lot to me. I realized how influential I could be in someone's life. It has been a joy to see that same kid grow into a young gentleman. It's a great feeling to know you are making a difference in a child's life. There's inspiration everywhere, all you have to do look.
