                                                Bearded since: 2007.  I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I grew my beard because... 
Beards are sexy. Beards convey masculinity, confidence and ruggedness. Beards feel great. I am inspired by beards on the street and beards on men on beards.org. It's a challenge. Because I can. 
 
How do I feel about my beard?  I love my beard. It's hard to believe nearly five months have passed since I started growing mine out. I started with a bushy mustache and sideburns and filled in from there. I like the reaction my beard gets. Guys ask how long it took. I also get asked: Isn't it hot? Can I touch it?
