                                                Bearded since: 1985.  I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.
 Comments:
 One year, when I was on vacation, I hadn't shaved for several days (I had a mustache then.) and people thought I was growing a beard. I said no, but several of those people  said I'd look good in one. So I decided to try and grow one. I liked the way I looked in it. I'm still with the beard and I'm really happy about it.
 
 How do I feel about my beard?  Love it!! Not only is a symbol of my maleness, but it also marks me as my own person. It's not a trendy goat', soul patch or anything...but a timeless, classy beard. Suits me just fine.
