| What's Your Motto / What Do You Stand For? | When it comes to beards, my mantra.... Train and don't trim.... life in general.... I'm just here for the craic. |
| 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?) | Following a very serious RTA I was faced with the fact that one of my legs would be amputated. In fact I was lucky.... sort of !!! 9 major operations and over 10 years of limb reconstruction saved the limb. Driving a truck and my passion for the gym was out of the question, I needed another point of focus to live..... that focus was bearding. I watched Whisker Wars on TV, knew I could do that...even from a wheelchair. My goal World Champion. |

| 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?) | My beard is longer than that but I shaved my chin to be meaner and in order to better organise and build a DIY sauna in Baltic Burners gathering in Latvia. It was a success with lots of volunteers building their own 4 meters high transparent globe sauna. Everything from a scratch so it took a few days almost without sleep and have fun afterwards every time we come there. It is developed each year, growing and changing as well as my own beard. |

| What's Your Motto / What Do You Stand For? | The price of being a sheep is boredom, the price of being a wolf is loneliness. Choose one or the other with great care. |
| 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?) | I started growing a beard because I was fed up of shaving. Never did I expect it to reach over 2 foot in length and continue to grow! Maintaining the mane is a long and painful process but the looks of admiration and the shouts of "nice beard" amongst the bearded and non-bearded community make it all worthwhile. |

When my wife was in high school, ML was told she had a rare disease called Amyloidosis which took her life. My wife has been trying to raise awareness of this rare disease for years. I started growing my beard to help my wife raise awareness of Amyloidosis and to keep ML's memory alive. To me this beard is a life long commitment to raise awareness of Amyloidosis. |
