Alumni That Have Your Back
Christian Moffitt,
2013 Graduate
Owner of Barbershop Moffitt’s
Christian had always styled hair but never thought of barbering as a career path. After his wife suggested it, he found out he had a knack. He loves that hair cutting is a creative profession where every customer is a canvas and he is the sculptor. He loves the problem-solving aspect of barbering and is figuring out new ways to achieve an overall style.
“Your failure or success is determined by the amount of work you want to put in. You will never know what to expect—every day is different and that’s something I’ve always enjoyed.”
