                                                Bearded since: 2004.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 I grew my beard because:
 My dad always wore a beard.
 I was active duty Air Force for twenty-one years and wasn't authorized to wear one.
 It covers up the chubby face.
 I think it looks cool.
 
 How do I feel about my beard? I really like my beard, but I want to go back and forth with a goatee, especially in the summer. My wife likes the beard trimmed short or better yet the goatee only.
