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. |

Began growing my current beard the day after my wedding in August 2014. I never realized the impact I could make with my beard to help charities locally and across the United States. My wife and son are my Ultimate #1 priority in life. I am a lifelong boxer and martial artist who has used my skills to make a living doing Repo, and as a Bouncer. I am a Disabled Air Force Veteran Police Officer. Never Give Up No Matter How Hard Things Seem. |

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. |

After 25 years in the Army and shaving everyday,I wanted to grow a beard. The beard is now who I am. I have always been a warrior and the beard fits me. It makes me feel the warrior spirit on a level I can't quite explain!! |

I saw an old card on my grandfather who had shorter full beard and got an idea at the beginning of 2016 after trying the classic mustach and around the mouth. I was not satisfied and thought if i can have a full beard like him? Soon 3 years later i got more, I do not regret and feel more whole, It felt like I found myself and felt more complete. |
