| 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 never thought I could grow a beard until just over a year ago. I always wore the goat or went unshaven for a week but nothing beyond that. But a year ago in October I made up my mind that I was going to let it grow. I started getting compliments on my growth, it made me feel good and gave me a boost of confidence, I started walking a little taller, feeling good about myself. It has made a big difference in my family life as well. |

Who Is The Man Behind The Beard?) | Years ago I left a beard, although I did not take care of it enough, and I took it off by not liking it, after 2 months of not wearing a beard I could not help but let it grow again, after a year, I went to repair it and leave it a little shorter for the summer, "for reasons of comfort", my surprise was when I almost cut it completely, and at that precise moment I knew that I was going to leave a huge beard, without realizing it, the beard forms. |

He’s the real deal. One of the toughest and determined men I’ve met. A true man amongst men. Now he finally has the beard to match his personality.
