| Tell Us Why You Have The MEANEST Beard? (What Is Your Story? What Inspired You To Grow A Beard? Who Is The Man Behind The Beard?) | I've worn my facial hair in various forms/styles full-time since 1994 when my wife told me to at least grow out my chin hair as my stubble was irritating her skin. I went full beard in September 2010 and decided I have to keep it the moment a child yelled to her mother at the top of her lungs in a grocery store "Mom!!! It's Santa Claus!!". Ever since then I figure I might as well own it. 🎅🏻👍🏻 |

| Tell Us Why You Have The MEANEST Beard? (What Is Your Story? What Inspired You To Grow A Beard? Who Is The Man Behind The Beard?) | I decided to grow a beard as I was fed up of being a boy. In my eyes, it's beard or boy. The beard keeps me warm during my runs, and collects the snow when needed (as you can see from the photo). Women come and go, but the beard remains. |

I have the most meanest beard because I took the chance in growing it, living the bearded lifestyle and also helping other with their beards, giving beard trims and showing them how to care for it. |

Who Is The Man Behind The Beard?) | I decided back in october of 2015 when my mother passed, that i would grow my beard in full, but i guess i started having facial hair in the nineties though i kept trimming it down, into goatee mustache and sideburns, or some combination of that. In 2015 october i started letting it all grow out. Looking foreward to see it evolve and grow longer. |
