I have had my same mustache for 35+ years and the same beard since the early 90's, however I have let it grow out for the last 5 years or so.

| Tell Us A Bit About Yourself. (Career, Hobbies, Interests) | Hello I am a PSW(Personal Support Worker) in a hospital and in a Long Term Care Facility. I work two jobs.I care for people who are affected with ADL's(Activities of Daily Living. We have 6 of them, they are: eating, bathing, getting dressed, toileting, transferring, and continence. This takes a certain kind of human to be able to do this. I also care for people that suffer from Alzheimer's, Dementia, Mental Health, ABI's: Acquired Brain Injury, Elderly and the vulnerable. I also deal with Sundowning. Now in the Hospital my job is to care for Cancer Patients who are in such a terrible place in their lives. I deal with stage 1 to end of Life. I have been with patients when they have taken their last breath. I also deal with Children who suffer from Cancer, I just don't care for them but I bring joy, laughter, and make them forget about this terrible disease for a small amount of time. Either playing games, making them laugh, opening a door outside so they can see and smell the fresh air. I will play their favourite songs, movies etc. I go above and beyond each and everyday to make sure I can make them feel special. We all believe that we can have a better life, BUT we could also have a bad one. My patients all "Mean" the world to me. When I'm having a bad day at work I just remember look at what my patients are going through. |
| What's Your Motto / What Do You Stand For? | "Do unto others as you want done unto you". Be kind each and every day. Do a small gesture to someone in need. Be it a smile, a hello, open a door etc |
| 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 am considered the Friendly Giant at work with a big heart. I have been sent home unpaid for 6 months now because I will not shave my Beard. So I am standing up for all who believe they have rights and freedoms. That we are all different and special in this world. I believe in being different and showing what God has given you, I believe we should all look and be different. I believe we all need to "Stay true to yourself. Enjoy this world !! |

| 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 grew the beard in observance of a No Shave November when my father in law got prostate cancer. I decided I liked it and let it grow for almost a year. Then I made the mistake of shaving it! Ugh! All that work down the drain! Big regret! I have since grown it back bigger and meaner. I have also been going to the gym to try to build the mean body to go with the mean beard. People always ask me about the beard and I love talking about it! |

| Tell Us A Bit About Yourself. (Career, Hobbies, Interests) | After high school I served in the U.S.Army. it was the only time in my life since puberty that I was clean shaven. After serving in the army I did a variety of jobs from reforesting Mt. Saint Helens after it blew to logging/setting chokers to making jewelry. I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none. I love to spend time with my grandchildren, fishing and competing in beard competitions. One of my greatest interests is serving others. I got the opportunity and honor to cook for and feed the homeless It feeled my heart full of joy. |

| 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.) | After growing my beard out to honor a fellow Viking childhood friend that passed away from cancer my daughter came up to me and told me that my beard was getting really yellow. I knew it was from nicotine stains. I had tried several times in my life to quit smoking and never was completely successful. Her telling me that was the ticket. My beard is so mean that because of it I have been nicotine free for 4 years. |
