| Tell Us A Bit About Yourself. (Career, Hobbies, Interests) | I was an operator in a refinery till I took a disability retirement. Now I a little bit of a gym rat and I do whatever my children and grand children need me to do. |
| What's Your Motto / What Do You Stand For? | You are 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it! That's why I choose to smile. A smile always makes things a little better. |
| 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.) | One big reason I love my beard is children are fascinated by beards. Usually much to the embarrassment of their parents. They either think I'm Santa, which I always play along with or they just can't quit staring. Even very shy children are drawn to the beard. Putting a smile on someone's face, especially a child makes it so worth any negative comments I may get. |

| 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 was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor, they removed it and it almost immediately started to regrow. Nine years later another seizure happens. The tumor is more aggressive than it was so I had to do 33 rounds of radiation and a year of chemo. Having the ability to grow my beard gives me a sense of power over my cancer! Every time I look in the mirror I can see the scar from my two surgeries but I can also see my MEAN BEARD! |

You guys have a great product killer street cred, not to mention being 6'4" 370lbs and a nickname of Mongo doesn't hurt. Lol. |

You look mean with that beard. I love it at work when I walk up to help a customer and they kinda back up . Just because I'm 6' tall and have a big beard. It never fails by the time we're done we shake hands and I've made a new friend. |
