Hi! My name is Brent Golden, and I’m the founder of the Davines Professional Academy here in Lincoln, NE. After growing up in Lincoln and graduating from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, I began my career in beauty sales eventually becoming the V.P. of Sales for Paul Mitchell, where I spent 23 years of my career. I founded the Davines Professional Academy of Beauty and Business in 2013 under its original name Paul Mitchell The School, Lincoln. My goal is to use my industry background and expertise to provide unique insights about the beauty industry to every student that walks through our door and help them build the best careers possible for themselves!

Hi! My name is Bobbie Hotler. I am the Co-Director, Admissions Leader, and an Instructor for Davines Professional Academy of Beauty and Business.
