Bearded since: 2002, on and off. I am an occasional or seasonal beard grower.

In this particular picture I wanted to go the distance with my beard. I had always wanted to grow a longer, fuller beard. So, one day me and my beard started growing like weeds.
This is the longest I've ever had it. I would like to take it further!

Right now I'm growing the rare summer beard. Since I live in Texas, it is very, very hot... but the beard is worth it. It gives me that little extra edge, the kind where people look at me and think, "Boy howdy, that guy is crazy for growing that wicked summer beard!"

How do I feel about my beard? I love my beard! My grandfather always had a wicked, long beard when I was growing up. I remember wanting to grow a beard like grandpa.
My dad has always been able to grow a nice beard as well, and thankfully I received his beard growing genes... My other two brothers missed the bus.

Overall, I'm happy with my facial hair. It's pretty thick, and it grows relatively fast. The only area I could use more help in is shaping it and maintaining it. Since I'll be moving up in a more professional role soon, I want to be able to have a more professional beard!
