Goodnight was one of 10 finalists who received a flipcam from Sexy Hair to showcase why he should win. As the winner, Goodnight will receive a year’s worth of Sexy Hair product and an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles for a complimentary training course at Sexy Hair’s Institute of Courage.

Following a career in the U.S. Navy, Goodnight decided to pursue his dream of becoming a hair stylist. Today you can find him offering free chemo hair cuts as well as wig trimmings for cancer patients. Here are some other of his accomplishments:

• Organizes “Kutting for Kids,” a city-wide annual event that benefits Locks of Love. He has personally collected over 9,000 inches of hair and helped raise more than $30,000 for the nonprofit organization.

• Volunteers for the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and serves as workshop facilitator and trainer for Look Good…Feel Better where he offers free pre/post chemo haircuts and free wig shaping.

• Lee, an avid fisherman, has invented a pink fishing lure which he sells, then donates the profits to the M-Line. The organization funds mammograms for those who cannot afford them.

Sexy Hair donated $1 for every submission to Look Good…Feel Better, a national public service program helping patients struggling with the appearance-related challenges of cancer treatment.
