Family over everything, first and foremost. I am a truss engineer. Fitness is a must daily. Golf with my father is a hobby. I also enjoy inspiring people through my socials, with laughter, motivation, and tough love. It saved my life, it very well could help another!
MEAN BEARD Motto:
I'm the CEO of toxic positivity! I feed off inspiring others to be better and do better every single day. Let's go! Be great today!
Tell us why you have the MEANest BEARD?
I transformed my life in 2013 as I went through in-patient rehab for a 15 year drug addiction. I lost everything, my job, my family, my will to live ... complete rock bottom. I was so blinded by drug use, it makes me ill to think about it to this day, at this moment. When I say I was a different person I mean that wholeheartedly. I have been clean for 8 years now. It seems since I started my fitness transformation and growing my beard people are drawn to me, my story, my fire, my passion for life. I inspire people to change and to be grateful. This mindset changed my life. It has helped me inspire so many others as well. I feel blessed to be alive and to be able to share myself and my light with everyone.

I joined the Navy from 2015-2019 and of course I had to shave everyday. Once I got my hands on my DD214 form, I made it a goal to start growing my beard out. It started in November 2019 and it has now turned into a full part of my life. People recognize me by my beard now. The grays in it show that I have gone through life and that alone expresses great attitude!

Always have some beardless friends so they tell you that you are their leader. My hobby is caring for my beard.
MEAN BEARD Motto:
Beards will never hide identity. They create it.
Tell us why you have the MEANest BEARD?
I grow a beard to let the community know that not everyone with a beard is addicted to alcohol or drugs.

I started to grow my beard when I heard that my cousin had a big beard. Now my cousin is the one with the small beard. That's why I think I have a MEAN BEARD.
