| Tell Us A Bit About Yourself. (Career, Hobbies, Interests) | I have three kids, a wife and a little Shi-tzu dog named Ester. My hobbies aside from the beard are: building a cabin in the forest, this summer we have built a place to store our outdoor stuff like snowmobiles and other building projects. I also drive tanks in World of tanks and sometimes, work on my own blog page writing and I own a web hosting company with four other part owners. |

| Tell Us Why You Have The MEANEST Beard? (Share An Interesting Story Behind Your Beard. We Want To Know Who The Man Behind The Beard Is.) | I started growing my beard back in 2015 when I broke my arm working on our holiday home. It was so painful I choose not to shave. Now it has become a kind of lifestyle finding other MEAN but kind bearded men all over the globe. :-) |

I don't like myself without a beard, first time I grew a goat beard style in 2012. After that I tried different beard styles, in 2015 I grew a full size beard for 4 months and that time I had great experiences. I shaved it because of my college life. In 2020 I again started to grow a beard and upload the bearded pic on social media, I gained support from beard pages on Instagram and in last month only I won a beard contest. |

| Tell Us A Bit About Yourself. (Career, Hobbies, Interests) | Hi my names Adam, work buddy's refer to me as Adlar 😂 . I'm a sign fabrication dude and production manager for a small/medium signage company in the south of England. I enjoy a good binge on Netflix and a, a big fan of a gaming session with my buddies. |
| What's Your Motto / What Do You Stand For? | Don't take no s**t we're not here long so let's have a laugh! |
| Tell Us Why You Have The MEANEST Beard? (Share An Interesting Story Behind Your Beard. We Want To Know Who The Man Behind The Beard Is.) | I may not have the biggest or most badass beard(my opinion) but it's grown on me and my family(no pun intended). My old man had a beard and that's what made me grow one, my old man was my best friend and my hero. Sadly he's not around to see how big my beard has grown, all I know he'd be proud that's for sure. Also being part of the bearding community is fun, the brotherhood aspect and "we're in this together" attitude make it even more appealing. |

| Tell Us A Bit About Yourself. (Career, Hobbies, Interests) | Well I`m a driving instructor been doing it 13 yrs now love the job. Been growing my beard for a long time and cut it back 14 years ago to about 2 inch's and then trimmed it a few times then just let it grow to where it is now. I enter as many comps as I can for fun and I`m waiting to head over to New Zealand for the world hopefully next year, we will see how thing go. I think my beard is a stand out, people see it and comment on it out loud or to me which make me laugh or I see them talking a friend. . |

| Tell Us Why You Have The MEANEST Beard? (Share An Interesting Story Behind Your Beard.

A month or so later, visitations were stopped and never seen them again, this beard and memories are all I have left! |

Niklas Sandqvist – because he has a nice looking natural beard and he makes good use of it to spread joy to children portraying Santa Claus.
