I started my barbering career in 2003 when I joined Angus college in the north east of Scotland, followed by 2 years of further learning in traditional barbering at a well established barbershop in the small town of Arbroath. 

Having always dreamed of running my own business I moved on from that position to open my own barbershop 15 miles away in Montrose, this shop traded very successfully for 8 years before I moved to a more central location and opened my current shop, Chop!_

Chop!_ has operated successfully for six years and during that time I've been published in industry magazines, won a trade award, lectured at the college I begun my career, become a finalist in Scotland's best barber 2019 and opened another shop in the city of Aberdeen.

I have almost fifteen years of experience in training my own staff who have ranged from students with no knowledge whatsoever coming into the trade and those leaving college.  Some of whom have gone on to open their own thriving businesses elsewhere or found employment in other successful barbershops.

I have a passion for this wonderful creative industry and it is my hope that I can share everything I've learned over my many years of service to the next budding generation of talented barbers.
