                                                Bearded since: June 1, 2005. I consider myself something of a mixture of a permanent beard grower, a seasonal beard grower, and an experimental beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I grew my beard because I think that the beard gives me a more distinctive appearance, because not every man can grow a beard. The reactions of others have been favorable.  
 
How do I feel about my beard?  I like how I look with a beard. So does my wife. I like the beard long and not overly groomed to avoid it having an artificial look.
