WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME AND WHY?

IS THIS IT - THE STROKES. A LOT OF MY FAVORITE SONGS TRANSPORT ME TO A DIFFERENT TIME IN MY LIFE BUT THIS TRACK AND ALBUM WAS THE FIRST I DISCOVERED OUTSIDE OF MY PARENTS' MUSIC COLLECTION. IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF ME DISCOVERING THE MUSIC THAT I LOVED ON MY OWN.

IF YOU COULD WRITE YOUR OWN JOB TITLE THAT BEST DESCRIBES WHAT YOU DO HERE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

PRIMO BARBER, I SUPPLY MY CLIENTS WITH GREAT SERVICE, NON AWKWARD SOMETIMES RIVETING CHAT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE TOP CLASS HAIRCUT THEY ALWAYS WANTED.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT THE WORK YOU DO?

THERE ARE TOO MANY REASONS WHY I ENJOY WHAT I DO. I FEEL LUCKY TO BE CREATING DAY IN, DAY OUT. I ENJOY WORKING WITH MY CLIENTS TO GIVE THEM THEIR DESIRED HAIRCUT. I ENJOY THAT NO TWO DAYS ARE THE SAME. I LOVE THAT I CAN BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH CLIENTS TO THE POINT WHERE THEM COMING IN IS ALSO A CATCH-UP AS MUCH AS IT IS A HAIRCUT. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, HELPING PEOPLE FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES, A HAIRCUT CAN GIVE SOMEONE CONFIDENCE, CAN CHANGE SOMEONE’S MINDSET AND CAN SIMPLY MAKE PEOPLE HAPPIER, TO BE ABLE TO SUPPLY PEOPLE WITH THAT IS A PRIVILEGE.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

I ENJOY MAKING MUSIC MOSTLY. I'M A GUITARIST AND SINGER/SONGWRITER AND I LOVE WRITING TUNES. I'VE BEEN SKATEBOARDING FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND LOVE TO SKATE WHEN THE WEATHER PERMITS. I'VE RECENTLY PICKED UP SEWING TOO AND HOPEFULLY WILL GET A PROPER GRASP ON IT SOON.

IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

CURRENTLY NEW ZEALAND'S SOUTH ISLAND IS ON MY LIST. I HAVE NOT YET MANAGED TO GET OVER THERE BUT A PEACEFUL CAMPING TRIP ON THE SOUTH ISLAND IS WHERE I WANT TO BE.
