To say the least, this young man that I will be introducing on my blog tonight is one hell of a hard worker. His persistence to become great is paying off in a major way. We came together to create this blog about 2 months ago and within that amount of time he had spoken his barber shop into existence and that has surely has come to pass. He is now officially the owner of G's Chop Shop in Youngstown Ohio. If you don’t know who I am talking about, I would like to introduce to you Gary Thornton. For all of you who are acquainted with Gary you know he has many talents. Today I will be giving you a glimpse of Gary Thornton the amazing barber.
Gary Thornton, born April 21st 1990 in Youngstown Ohio, was a stellar athlete his whole life. Not only was he a stellar athlete, he always indulged in cutting hair and loved music. At a young 25 years of age he has taken his hobbies to a whole different level! Who knew that these hobbies would turn into life changing careers.
