                                                Bearded since: 1990, off and on.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I didnt choose to grow a beard.  It chose to grow and I didn't stop it, simple as that.  There was never really an option to not have a beard.  The last time I remember being without some sort of facial hair was probably in high school when I was forced to shave. 
 
At this point it's like a pet, a member of the family.  I'm proud of my growth and my grooming.  It has its own fan club in a sense.  I have the support of my friends in my growing.
