My wife and I have been married for over 22 years and I have 5 fun kids (the oldest in college and the youngest is a newborn). Our fur-family consists a rescue Australian cattle dog named Lola and a chocolate lab named Indie.

I started cutting hair in ‘96 during my senior year in high school right before going to Sacred Heart University in Connecticut. It had always been my dream and passion to open my own barbershop that could serve the community. More importantly - I wanted the ability to connect with people.

I love seeing the emotional, mental and physical transformation happen in front of my eyes with a haircut and style. It's amazing how something so simple, can mean so much to a person.

Having gone through depression in years past I fully understood the need to connect. Giving people a more private place to unwind, relax, express themselves and be there for them, means everything to me.

At Mission (Haircraft + Barbershop) we volunteer our time and offer haircuts to the homeless, veterans and kids in children's homes. With the launch of Mission Haircraft we will now have the ability to reach more communities, with additional resources and make a larger impact.

Mission (Haircraft + Barbershop) isn't simply a name that we found catchy - it's emblematic of how we feel about ourselves, our connection to the community and the good we want to do in this world.

From my family to yours, thank you for your continued support.
