| 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?) | Since I was 18 I've had a beard off and on, but I always got tired of itch so I'd shave it off and regrow. It all got serious summer of 2016 when the wife an I ran into this beard tent at a artisan festival. I knew nothing about beard products/clubs at this time. When they told me what they do it sold me and I signed up what we do is we help raise money for kids that want to get into music and music is close to my heart! |

As the beard has grown so has my confidence. Thanks to the bearding community. I never would have believed I could host a weekly live competition with hundreds of viewers.

Most of all it has introduced me to a group of friends I will love for life. |
