Bearded since: 2006. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard because I hate shaving and my wife likes it more than my baby face.

I guess I started growing it my last year of finishing my bachelor's because my job didn't require me to be clean shaven. I tend to grow it until I think it's too long. Then I shave it and start again.

How do I feel about my beard? It's not the nicest or thickest, but inspired by the words of Donald Rumsfeld:
"You go to town with the beard you have -- not the beard you might want or wish to have at a later time."
