Joe Malatesta III always wanted to grow his hair into a mullet, but the timing wasn’t right. But about four years ago he decided it was time and the Kenai resident let his inner mullet fly. How high? Well the State of Alaska employee just made the Top 25 in the 2022 USA Mullet Championships, coming in a respectable 19th place.

So what drives a man to the mullet — or better yet, does the mullet call to the man? Joe explains his transformation into the mullet world and why he decided to enter the prestigious pompadour retro hair contest.
