About me... I've been married to Sharon since 1999, and we have 2 amazing little girls, Macy who was born in January 2001 and Tayla who was born in October 2003.

I originally trained in London's West End, gained experience in Bermuda, before moving to Luton and The Cutting Corner, where I've worked since.

I'm a former Artistic Director of The London Artistic Group and I've had work published in various national hairdressing magazines.

In 1999 I helped set up Elite Salon Training, a unique salon/college partnership and in 2002 I was delighted to win the 'Championing The Power Of Learning' award at the Luton and Bedfordshire's Business Excellence Awards.

I spend most of my time in the salon cutting and styling, but I also co-ordinate all the team training, the salon photography and stage work.

My belief in TOTAL SERVICE spreads throughout the whole team, which incorporates the whole Cutting Corner Experience from Consultation through to Presentation of Finished Result, including how best to manage the look at home.

In 2007 I gained a Wella's colour degree, the internationally renowned Master Colour Award and last year I achieved Wella’s Master Colour Expert status and joined an elite group of around 200 of the UK’s top colourists.

My favourite product is... Nanomax Permanent Hair Repair - better than sliced bread!

Favourite night out... My Wife, Mexican Food, Salsa Music and Tequila!!!

Favourite film... Kill Bill Vol. 1

Favourite cd... Supernatural By Santana

The best thing about my job is... Creating original cuts and colours for every client and developing the talent in our team.

What's In & What's Out... Being original is in, running with the pack is out!
