| 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 love, when on a daily basis, someone will come up to me and ask me how long have I been growing my beard or they will compliment my beard. It gives me a chance to talk to someone who I might never talk to if I didn't have a beard. There's a yearning for all of us to have these personal connections. It shows our humanity even if it's for just a moment. These connections make me want to continue to grow my beard even longer, bigger and meaner!! |

| 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.) | The story of an epic beard growth. Well, after 24 years of military service, I finally get to let this epic beard grow. Yeah it's not a long wizard beard, but how many beards have a mustache that has a name. I call it "The distractor". Plus it's still growing no plans on cutting it. Just maintaining. |

Not to mention, the wife is the mastermind behind my epic beard. She encouraged it from day 1! Before that I was always clean shaven! |

| Tell Us A Bit About Yourself. (Career, Hobbies, Interests) | I've been a member of the Western Mass Whisker Society for the past four years, and recently started my own group called Beer with Beards, which meets once a month at a local brewery. I am a craft beer fan, and if I'm not at a bearding event, I'm probably at a brewery. I love movies, in particular Star Wars and any Kevin Smith film, one of which inspired me to dress up as Silent Bob for beard comps. Monday through Friday I work as a shipper for a machine shop. I'm very grateful to be a part of the beard community! |

| 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.) | As a freestyle competitor, I like to think that I style my beard according to how I'm feeling. If my beard isn't styled, then I'm relaxed. When I style my beard for a comp, the one thing you'll always see are my signature spikes through the gauges in my ears. |

| 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 started growing my beard in 2013 as a way to raise awareness for autism. I switched quickly to raising awareness for a rare disease known as Amyloidosis. My mother-in-law had the disease and it took her life when my wife was in high school. This changed her life completely so I try to keep her memory alive with my wife's efforts in hopes others do not experience the same. |
