          Dreams and ambitions are things that i have had since I was a young boy. Growing up in a small town in North Carolina, the country life was all I knew so when I discovered fashion and beauty magazines, it was life changing! Breaking into the industry by observing family and friends do their hair and makeup and researching every aspect I could think of. Every time a commerical would come on regarding fashion or beauty , I would be glued to the television willing my brain to absorb all the new tends and fads. Through the years I became more and more motivated to start trying things out on my own so I would style the hair and apply the makeup for friends, always wanting to try something new and different. I even sat down in front of a sewing machine and taught myself how to design and make clothing! As you can tell, my love for fashion and beauty has just continued to grow and expand! I soon started trying to find a way to get myself noticed in the industry so I began to model at the age of sixteen, hoping that this would open a door, but evidently it wasn't my time to shine yet. At the age of twenty, I began looking into further education. I enrolled into Chris's Beauty College to pursue my passion and my future. Since my first day at Chris's Beauty College I knew that God was about to open doors for me that had previously remained shut, waiting on his perfect timing. Over time being in beauty school my passion for fashion and beauty became more in depth.
           So you ask me, " Why do I want to be a part of Spread the Love"? Not only is spread the love an opportunity of a life time. The basic fundamentals and knowledge I will gain through Spread the Love will become the rock hard foundation for the life I hope to build for myself. I have had first hand life changing experiences ever since I've entered into the beauty industry. My passion in life is to be able to pas along my expericanes and the knowledge  that I have learned to the world! Being a hairdresser to me is spreading the love. There is no greater gift in life than knowledge. The beauty industry has changed my life in a way that I will always be grateful for and I want nothing more then to share that feeling with everyone I meet. That's why from this journey I hope to get more education, but most of all I want to help to inspire others to follow their dreams, and help to educate them from what I have learned.
