The Backpack Barber
Greg Young has called Fort Lauderdale, Florida, his home for decades - it’s where he resides as a proud family man, talented barber, successful business owner, and local philanthropist looking to spread the good. But things have not always been so perfect for Greg. His young life was unstable; his mother was caught up with the wrong crowd and was rarely there for him and his brother. By age 9, he was rebelling, doing drugs, and skipping school. Greg spent his young adult years on the streets abusing drugs and alcohol when he wasn't locked up in jail.
