                                                Bearded since: 1997.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower. 
 
Comments: 
I was one of the first in my class in school to start growing facial hair. I started with a goatee, just to see what it looked like. I loved it and have had one ever since. My father has always had a beard, so that also influenced me. 
 
How do I feel about my beard?  I feel my beard is the definition of who I am.  Without my goatee, I feel naked on my chin.  I suffer from a lack of chin and the hair on my chin is the only thing that gives it definition.
