                                                Bearded since: 2002.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 After retiring from the Navy, where we were no longer allowed to have a beard, I decided to let it grow back and now it's part of my every day life. I also fit the life of Saint Nick.
 
 How do I feel about my beard?  I believe that everyone that has facial hair should be allowed to have a beard if they so desire and an employer should judge the person on what they can do, not on what they look like with or with out facial hair.
