The HERO'S impact fundraiser
Transforming a simple barbershop into a citywide force for change—because every neighborhood deserves a HERO.
MY JOURNEY
With over a decade of professional DJing experience, I’ve mastered the art of creating unforgettable moments through music. Specializing in Hip-Hop, R&B, Old School, Latin, and Caribbean beats, I bring a diverse and vibrant energy to every event. Whether it’s an intimate wedding or a high-energy corporate party, my versatility ensures that each event is unique and memorable.
I’ve had the privilege of providing exceptional entertainment for a variety of events, including setting the stage for unforgettable high school proms, crafting the perfect soundtrack for couples on their special wedding days, and energizing professional gatherings with tailored playlists at corporate events. I’ve also had the opportunity to elevate artist performances and community celebrations at showcases and festivals. My professionalism and dedication have allowed me to collaborate with event planners, schools, and high-end venues, consistently delivering experiences that exceed expectations.
I’ve had the privilege of serving over 1,000 clients, delivering personalized grooming experiences that leave people looking and feeling their best. I’ve also participated in more than 20 charity events, offering free haircuts to underserved communities, including veterans, students during back-to-school drives, and individuals at homeless shelters. Through my career, I’ve opened and managed my own barbershop, where I oversaw daily operations and built a loyal clientele.
Mentoring and training have been some of my most rewarding experiences—I’ve helped 15 aspiring barbers develop their skills and achieve certification. I’ve also completed over 1,500 hours of professional training and advanced courses to refine my techniques, staying ahead of trends in modern grooming. Additionally, I’ve styled for more than 50 weddings and events, ensuring grooms and wedding parties look sharp for their big day.
I’m building The HERO Mobile Barbershop to bring premium grooming, confidence, and community straight to the people. This isn’t just a barbershop on wheels—it’s a mobile hub for creativity, care, and opportunity.
Inside, I’ll be offering precision cuts, sharp styles, and top-tier service anywhere—from schools to shelters to community events. But beyond grooming, The HERO will double as a space for pop-up donation drives, youth workshops, photo shoots, and mentoring sessions.
Every barber who works with me will have access to my Hustle Over Hype: The HERO Playbook, helping them grow their brand and scale their income to $10K/month and beyond.
Launching in late 2026 or early 2027, The HERO is my way of giving back, uplifting others, and proving that sometimes—the shop can come to you.
HERO Mobile Barbershop
“These are the TOP 4 designs we’ve chosen from all the looks we explored for the HERO Mobile Barbershop. Each one represents the vibe, mission, and vision we want to bring to the community. We’re excited to share these options and get feedback as we move closer to creating a barbershop that’s not just functional, but a true reflection of the HERO movement.”
VEHICLE + WRAP
BUILD-OUT (Interior)
OPERATIONS
SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT
TECH + MARKETING
“We’re asking for $75,000–$100,000 because building a fully equipped, professional, and community-focused mobile barbershop takes more than just buying a van. This amount covers everything needed to make the HERO Mobile Barbershop safe, functional, and sustainable: the cost of a reliable vehicle, a custom interior build with barber chairs, sinks, mirrors, plumbing, and ventilation, plus essential equipment like clippers, supplies, and sanitation tools. It also includes permits, insurance, a security system, a booking/payment system, and funds for branding, marketing, and launching the business. By raising this amount, we’re not just building a barbershop—we’re creating a high-quality, mobile platform designed to serve the community for years to come.”
Multi-use potential
“The HERO Mobile Barbershop is designed to be more than a grooming space—it’s a flexible, community-powered hub that can serve multiple purposes wherever it parks.”
Features you'll love
Cuts in Projects
I’m bringing free haircuts straight to the hood—public housing, low-income blocks, and neighborhoods where kids and families can’t always afford a trip to the shop.
Skid Row Cuts
I’ll be out there giving cuts to the UN-housed, offering dignity, care, and love to people the world often ignores.
Back-to-School Cuts
I’m blessing kids in the hood with fresh cuts before school—because every kid deserves to walk in proud, clean, and confident, no matter what their family’s going through.
Cuts for Elders
I’m pulling up to senior homes and elder centers in the neighborhood, giving free cuts and good conversation to OGs and elders who built these streets before us.
Donation Drop-Offs
This mobile shop won’t just be for cuts—it’ll be a hub to pass out hygiene kits, school supplies, jackets in the winter, toys during the holidays, and essentials for families who need a little extra help.
Mentoring Young Barbers
I’ll be mentoring young barbers, showing the next generation how to turn clippers into cash, side hustles into businesses, and helping them see it’s possible to get it from where they’re from.
Why the HERO Mobile Barbershop Will Make a Difference:
The HERO Mobile Barbershop isn’t just about cutting hair—it’s about showing up for the people and communities that often get overlooked. It’s a barbershop on wheels, built to bring care, confidence, and connection directly to neighborhoods, shelters, senior homes, and streets that need it most.
The HERO Mobile Barbershop will be a vehicle for change—literally and figuratively. By being mobile, I can reach the people and places that traditional shops don’t. I can meet people where they are, on their terms, and bring a sense of dignity, pride, and possibility to every stop.
This isn’t just a barbershop—it’s a mission on wheels. Every haircut is a chance to uplift. Every visit is a moment to connect. Every pull-up is a step toward building stronger, more confident communities.

Why a mobile barbershop instead of a traditional shop?
