                                                Bearded since: June 2011. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
Why did I grow my beard? I grew my beard for two main reasons: 
1. I wasn't allowed to have one for twenty-two years in the military 
2. It makes me look more Biblical or "Hebrew". 
 
How do I feel about my beard? I love having a beard! Though this is purely psychological, I think beards can bring out a person's confidence and add a distinguishing characteristic to the personality as well.
