After moving to Seattle from the Bay Area in 2008, Laz began bartending and found a passion for hospitality. After 15 years in bars and restaurants, he has taken his love for helping others feel good and is now applying it to the art of barbering to help others look good. Quick to jump at the opportunity to take on an apprenticeship under the best barbers in Seattle, he has devoted all of his free time to learning the craft under his mentors at Assembly. When not at the shop he can be found hanging out with his lovely wife and their cats (Gabe & Kevin), at a local punk show, or, most likely, lifting weights in his garage.
