                                                Bearded since: 2006.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 I grew my beard because I hate shaving and my wife likes it more than my baby face.
 
 I guess I started growing it my last year of finishing my bachelor's because my job didn't require me to be clean shaven. I tend to grow it until I think it's too long.  Then I shave it and start again.
 
 How do I feel about my beard? It's not the nicest or thickest, but inspired by the words of Donald Rumsfeld:
 "You go to town with the beard you have -- not the beard you might want or wish to have at a later time."
