At a young age Dig Doug Thompkins was heavily influenced by his Mom, who’s belief is still, if you want it done right do it yourself. That being said, she made sure to lead her son away from trouble and bad influences. As a youth she would take Doug to the local barbershop and the owner would show him the ropes of barbering. It was love at 1st cut.
He has since went on to be the  winner of 4 Bronner Brothers Barber Battles and 3 Hair Battles. He was retired from competition with the Legends title.
