Entrepreneur tackles pandemic — after beating cancer

When Sean Casey moved to Fort Myers in 2006, he arrived with a dream: to open his own barbershop. He’d worked in the hair-cutting business for years while living in New York City, but it was too expensive to consider opening a shop there.

He spent his first several years in Fort Myers at someone else’s shop, building up a client base and networking even further while doing open mic nights and other evening events in downtown Fort Myers. In 2010, his plan finally became a reality, when he opened TwinCutZ in a location on Six Mile Cypress Parkway. He’s since grown his business to five locations, with a new dream for even more.
