Responsibilities came first so I shaved. Well in 2015 came a new job and a new beard! Went to my first beard comp and damnit; I fell in love. |

I'm just an ordinary guy with beard, but I love it! Not every hero wears a cape - not every beardsman has to be the MEANest beard! 😉

This is my second attempt, I seen so many beards of various sizes and textures. Even though the big beards always wins the attention and comps... heres the reason why I think I have the MEANest beard... The beard I grow is grown out of memorial to those that fought battle toward cancers. Every follicles on my face has a name and stories of those that means a lot to me.

I am a proud doggie dad who's been married for 15 years and my career in aviation spans 25 years. I owned two sport bikes so far, but sold them about 5 years ago, but I am still identified as a rider locally which is awesome. I love to travel, meet new people, try new foods (and yes new sauces at Buffalo Wild Wings totally counts :)) and see new sights. I like helping out when and where ever I can, and I want to try to learn a new skill every year, next on my list is landscaping. While I am from the tropics I like the chilly weather, and plan to visit places in Europe, US and Canada, that have big open spaces. Overall, I am literally a fun guy that likes to have fun!

My goal was to grow an awesome beard, and introduce more beards in the boardroom, as well as to help change the perspective of the local beard scene. I was once asked if I wasn't working anymore, if that's the reason I grew a beard, which astounded me. The persons logic was I can't be employed with a beard like mine, this was also a driver for me to be even more awesome with my MEAN BEARD!

My name is Mark, but I go by the nickname Major, based on my initials (MAJ) and a nickname since the 4th grade. I've been working as a bartender since the 1980's. It is a job I love and gives me a chance to participate with my community. In my spare time I enjoy playing the guitar and writing songs, having recently finished writing a 19-song musical with my husband.

"The people, united, will never be defeated." I have used this chant for decades as I have campaigned for social change on many levels.

Gay men have, for decades, been in the trends with facial hair. I have always sported some kind of facial hair since the 1970's. Some people look at me and see a fun and mischievous Santa look these days, but others will liken my beard to that found in the statues of the ancient gods of Greece and Rome.... From Saint Nicholas to various Gods, I try to seek the balance and beauty of all of them and combine it to create the unique individual.

I'm a small town Canadian boy, I manage an automotive performance shop. When weather permits you will find me on my Harley beard in the wind. Jack of all trades, but my passion is hot rods and modifying bikes.

I started growing the beard with pressure from the girlfriend. As it started to get longer I started to enjoy it. Began some research and chatting with other beard brothers for tips on care, and maintenance. I was introduced to mean beard by a friend of mine so thought I would check it out!
