Bearded since: 2012. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
Why did I grow my beard? Because beards are simply awesome, rugged, and manly. My father always had a beard when he was alive. He passed from cancer in 2006. In a lot of ways I resemble my father with my beard. It shocks me sometimes seeing the reflection in the mirror. My beard is a tribute to my father's beard and to him.
How: I love my beard. It fits and represents a lot to me.
