                                                Bearded since: November 2006.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 I grew my beard because I have always had an inward desire to grow out my beard. I think that it is the symbol of wisdom and the essence of masculinity. I admire beards on other men, and when I got out of the Marines I started growing.
 
 How do I feel about my beard?  I really love it. I feel complete with it and will never be without my beard.
