My friend and I make and sell moustache wax!  We're brancing out into other men's care territories as well, it's quite fun!

The business is called Man's Face Stuff and we sell online and at some local merchants.  We're at www.mansfacestuff.com and our business just passed the 1 year mark, it feels great to keep it going.

A month ago I left a stressful job that was hazardous to my health, with no job lined up, in order to create a drive to build my own business.  My father started his own business selling synthesizers in the 80's, and my grandfather sold apples on the side of the road. 

I just know I'll be the happiest being my own boss, doing work that matters to me, and not compromising my principles for the sake of a paycheck.

Ambition inspires ambition, and I hope to see lots of Portlanders following their passions and profiting from them in the coming years.
