ST. PETERSBURG — Trying to remain a cut above in education, Pinellas Technical College is now offering its Barbering program at the St. Petersburg campus.
Longtime master barber and new instructor William Anderson began his involvement with PTC as an advisor to the Barbering program for the Clearwater campus. He spent a few years there before Boe Norwood, director of the St. Pete campus and client of Anderson’s, asked him if he’d be interested in teaching his profession to students at PTC St. Pete.
The St. Pete native has an extensive background in the art of haircutting, graduating from barber college in 1978 and has been a barber for almost 45 years. He has also always possessed a knack for teaching.
“I’ve trained a lot of guys, giving a lot of people in the community an opportunity, both here in St. Pete and a lot of places,” Anderson said. “I’ve had several shops started and helped train a lot of barbers, and so it was just natural for me to want to continue in this field of training young men and young women to be master barbers.” Read more.
