                                                Bearded since: 2005.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I grew my beard because I have always wanted to grow a full beard.  My job affords me the luxury of having a full beard without worry of having to shave it off. 
 
How do I feel about my beard?  I believe my beard is a manifestation of how I see myself in my mind's eye. I believe that a man's beard is true extension of his inner self.
