My siblings were always poking fun at my handsome face (pure jealousy) so in order to give them a chance with my parents I grew my beard out. Now I roam the earth having adventures and fighting communism.

I haven't been clean shaven for years but I have always been very short until my wife said she didn't want me to have a big beard for the wedding and look where that got me.

Kent Wynder - Cardston, Alberta, CANADA
@wynder77
Bearded since:  2012
I have been married for 20 years. I have 4 children (3 boys and a girl). Love being a dad and watching my kids accomplish things in their life. Recently had my oldest son start college and that was a mindblower for me and my wife haha. I have been a Middle School Teacher for 15 years. It takes a certain personality to deal with Middle Schoolers, but I love it. I teach History, Music and we recently started a Hockey Academy for kids in our school and I am involved in running that. I am very involved in my community with sports - I am president of our Zone Baseball league, vice president of our local baseball league, coach of the high school baseball team, assistant coach of my 2 sons hockey teams, and president of Challenger baseball (which is a baseball league for children with disabilities). This is one of my proudest accomplishments. To see the smiles of the kids faces when they get to play baseball is priceless. All children deserve a chance to play any sports they want. I have recently tried my hand at community theatre!! haha!! The director knew I had a beard and said he needed me in his play. I love music. I love to play guitar and sing any chance I get. I love to go to concerts, and not going to concerts because of COVID has been very tough to deal with. I love to stay active by playing softball, hockey, volleyball and going to the gym. I have been in this contest almost every year since it has started. I have had a couple top 10 finishes, which I am extremely proud of. So I know how hard of a competition this is to win. My beard has reached its terminal length so it will not grow anymore (Very sad day), so I know I won't have the longest beard, but I will rock every inch of beard I have to the best of my ability. I feel that I am a great representative for what Mean Beard is trying to showcase.
MEAN BEARD Motto:    Work Hard / Be Yourself / Have Fun!
Tell us why you have the MEANest BEARD? 
I don't have a life changing story as to why I have a beard, I just love to have one. I love how it makes me stand out in a crowd, I love how people look and say I wish I could grow a beard like that. I love how when you walk by another bearded man, you just give a little head nod - because you just know. It has made me who I am, and I would never change that. I didn't choose the beard life, the beard life chose me! Plus my wife loves it!!

The meanest beard is a platform from where you can inspire people to meet new people and the thing about meanest beard which makes it very easy to have a beard is also be known to other people and inspire people to grow a beard. That is why I want to be inspired so I want to take part in meanest beard and be chosen meanest beard to help people grow beards.

  • This is another grouping of glorious beards & stories that make choosing one very hard. That Brandon sacrificed so his siblings could have some parental love.. and uses his beard to fight communism – that has to add bonus points.
    Kent’s story though… I work in the school system and it’s rare to find someone who still has this passion for teaching students. Again, I’m swayed by the spirit behind the beard and how he uses it for good in his community.

  • Brandon Hobbs for sure!!!

  • Kent is a stud, inside and out!!!! Ok Ok I’m his wife, but everyone else that knows him would say the same!!! He works hard for our family and is the most amazing husband and father!! He also gives so much of his time and talents to our community, and I couldn’t love his bearded face more!!!! ❤️ 🧔🏻 ❤️
