                                                Bearded since: 1999. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 Why did I grow my beard? It all started out with a pair of sideburns. It just felt natural to embrace what I like to call "a man's pride".  After a couple of years with burns I went for a goatee, and later on a full beard.
 
 How do I feel about my beard? I'm very proud of it, of course. Even though it's not the longest, it's mine and I like it.
