                                                Bearded since: 2009. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

I grew my beard because I felt like it helped my show who I am. Not to mention that in my family there are quite a few with red beards.  So I got curious to see if I would grow any red.  And lucky me, there is a hint of it on each side of my chin line. 
 
Proud to be an Irishman. 
 
How do I feel about my beard? I feel that it shows who I am to myself and my friends. It gives me comfort and keeps my face warm during the colder seasons. :D
