At 13 years of age, Fresh and his friend stole a pair of clippers from Minyards. The reason they stole them is because their families couldn’t afford a hair cut at the time.
Fresh and his friend cut each other’s hair, but then started cutting all the kids hair in the neighborhood.
Coming from a broken home, Fresh did his best along the way to avoid getting into gangs but couldn’t altogether avoid them. He ended up in juvenile detention for a few months and eventually ended up in prison, after being on the run for two years.
When they saw his clipper’s tattoo he was encouraged to apply for intake barber. From there, he turned his skill into life. His skill gave him protection, finances, and confidence. He cut inmates and correctional staff’s hair.
When he got out of prison he hustled to try to regain all the business he started with. Now, he’s in many dealerships across the Dallas area.
One of the quotes that kept him going on the road to forever change is “What’s so wrong with change, if where you are and what you are, has got you where you’re at?”
One of my favorite lines from our interview is “When I had to choose between God and a women, I chose to lean into God over a woman.”
Fresh has truly shown what it means to not let his background hold him back, but make it pay him back.
