“I started early 2020 we were up at a race in New York and one of the girls was a hairdresser and cut it for me,” he said. “I really just did it to annoy my wife who was very anti-mullet but then as it grew out it actually had a nice shape and people kept telling me it looked good. So then I needed to perfect it!”“I just made the deadline...and we entered the day before they stopped taking entries,” Kormann said.
