I can't say I have the meanest beard but my beard means alot to me. I think every mans beard is mean. Because of what it means to them. Weather short or long and no matter the style or how perfect or imperfect it may be. It is the true look of a real man and it's how God designed us. To me my beard signifies patients, maturity and growth as a man to be better in all areas of my life. It is has been the next step in my life to become a better man |

I grew a beard long before it became fashionable. I believe a beard is a simple expression of masculinity. |

What Do You Do? (Career, Hobbies, Interests) |
I am finishing my bachelors degree in Family Life Education at Concordia Ann Arbor University. I graduate in May. The past four years I have been a student athlete. Kicking for our football team. I am currently an RA on campus and work maintenance/snow removal for the university. I am also an Athlete in Action (AIA) leader. We have small groups where we connect God to our sports for the different teams on campus. |
What's Your Motto / What Do You Stand For? |
Live in the moment and never let the fear of failure get in the way of you going after what you want in this life and always keep God first. |

I have always had some kind of facial hair since high school. In December of 2016, I stopped shaving for a couple weeks because I was working snow removal. Once I found beard oil, I knew I was not shaving any time soon and the rest is history! My beard has become very well known throughout campus and especially on my football team. Even the other teams we play make a point to compliment it every game. It's become a part of who I am :) |
