Hancock Barbershop owner Grant Quezada grew up in Prescott & attended Christian Academy grade school.  After graduating high school, Grant went to Missouri to cut hair & shortly thereafter enlisted in the military where he did six deployments in Iraq & Afghanistan.  Grant & his wife resettled in Prescott where he soon took advantage of a 'niche' in the barbershop experience in town and opened the very successful John Hancock Barbershop that offers a very high-end experience & provides high-end service.

Business partner & consultant Jesse Burke attended the same Christian Academy as Grant did as did both of their wives.  Jesse enlisted with the Air Force & later was a church consultant in California.  Jesse & his wife eventually landed back in Prescott whereupon Jesse & Grant developed a close bond as collaborating partners with the John Hancock barbershop.  From there both men decided to take the bold move and make a big statement by way of a development project close to downtown Prescott that they named 'Founding Fathers'.
