Bearded since: 2000. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

As a youth, I looked forward to the day when I could grow facial hair. My father had a large, full beard when I was a baby and I always admired the pictures of his bearded face hanging in our home. He would change his beard style often and I was amazed at how different he appeared with each new look.

I started out with sideburns and a goatee. At sixteen years old, I returned from a fifteen-day backpacking trip with my first full beard and fell in love! Ever since then I've experimented with various styles. The full beard is still my favorite.

How do I feel about my beard? I love my beard! It's nice and full and has many different colors in it. I feel privileged to own such a fine piece of masculinity.
