He was a State Licensed Plumber that was applauded for his meticulous work that was classified as textbook worthy to teach others. He became a Cosmetologist with one of the highest scores achievable.

He was known for his successful businesses such as The Sugar Shack, Heads & Threads, Crawfish Town USA, and Guidry & Co. Real Estate.
