David Centeno, 37

Occupation: Barber and Owner of Razor Sharp Cutz, Eustis and Lake Square Mall in Leesburg

What I do: I own and operate two barber shops. I also have clients. 

How I got here: I became intrigued with the barbering industry in 2004 when I was lacking a college degree and realized I had my own very specific grooming habits. I decided to turn it into a career. 

Why it’s my passion: I love that I can help people look and feel good about themselves.

Notable achievement: Opening and growing my own business.

Words of wisdom: Set a goal, invest in yourself and stay focused. Also, don’t be afraid to take risks and don’t be quick to dismiss any advice or guidance.

Outside the barbershop: I like to work out and spend time with family.

Life after 40: I would like to own multiple businesses and take on every opportunity I possibly can.
