                                                Bearded since: 1996. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
Why did I grow my beard? I have had a beard since I could grow stubble on my face. The incarnation of my beard pictured here is about two and a half years old. A woman broke my heart and I hadn't trimmed it since. While my heart has mended, the beard grows on. I would have to be inspired to trim my beard just as I was inspired to grow it. As time passes, so does it grow. 
 
How do I feel about my beard? I love my beard and oftentimes wonder what it thinks of me.
