Randall I.

Bearded since: 1999. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard because I've had facial hair since I was twelve years old. Since I'm a small guy, it has helped make me look older and wiser.

How do I feel about my beard? I always get compliments on it. And luckily, my girlfriend doesn't like me baby-faced. So I love it. I like to try new things with it, like the chin strip and mustache, or the friendly mutton chops. I let my co-workers vote on my next style periodically just to try something new.
