I got slavery out my mind, learned about the past, ignores the negativity around me and decided not to go on a war with nature every morning. It is gift from nature not a curse. It is my body and I chose to respect being me. Optimism is my way of life and I refuse to cut my body part for any type of exceptance or anybody |

| 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 liked shaving, don't know why, but facial hair was always there. I have shaved 4 to 5 times in my entire life, and since 2016 I have not shaved and will never do. Was a rowdy guy in college and started to be recognized as the guy with the beard, boys hated me and girls avoided me, although I never messed with someone without reason, never bullied anyone, only issue was I never allowed anyone to mess with my peace and happiness. |

All my years I've had many looks and styles of facial hair, but the best day was in the beginning joining a Volunteer Fire sept and they told me I had to shave down my beard for the Fit Test, I complied. Although I played around and jokingly separated my mustache just to see what curls would look like. 2 years ago I grew my beard longer and never looked back. |

Talking to people going through tough times makes me appreciate what I have. A conversation is an opportunity for a life-changing experience and my beard seems to be the pathway. Also, sharing my own story of Kidney Failure, dyalisis and a transplant operation is also a blessing that seems to inspire others! |

| What's Your Motto / What Do You Stand For? | I have two mottos 1. Go for it! Everything you want is on the other side of fear. 2. Dream big: If your goals are achievable they aren't big enough. |
| 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?) | After feeling extremely unattractive & being picked on in my youth, along with an on-off relationship with Acne, I stop shaving. In doing so, I started to get noticed. Pure necessity & desire to feel good motivated me to let the beard grow freely. The man behind this beard is an emotional, easy going, travel junkie, over thinking, hopeless romantic, math loving, day dreaming, homosexual man who just wants to find peace and share it with the world. |
