Bearded since: 1974. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I originally grew my beard to help cover my acne when I was just twenty-one. I liked the look as I outgrew the acne phase and have kept it, neatly trimmed most of the time, since 1974.

I like the confident, mature look my beard gives me. I can't imagine me being me without it.
