Bearded since: 2002, off and on. I am an experimental beard grower.

I like to grow and experiment with my beard. I like the fact that I can become almost a completely different-looking person with the styles that I go through. I will grow for months upon months at a time and then shave down to come up with styles that I think are unique and quite different from the social scene. I like to steer away from the normal. I have been doing this since I was probably about halfway through high school.

How do I feel about my beard? I love my beard!! I have not gone without some kind of facial hair since I was a freshman in high school. It has always intrigued me that I can become a whole different person with different styles. I especially love the fact that I can grow a red beard even though I have brown hair. Growing beards and creating different styles will be a part of me for the rest of my life, no matter what kind of position I will come into.
