                                                Bearded since: 2009. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
Why did I grow my beard? I grew my beard not only because I can, but it's pretty normal to have a beard in the Pacific Northwest and my cheeks get cold this time of year. 
 
How do I feel about my beard? I think the reddish hue adds character.  But mostly I like the shape and slowly combing the mustache out.
