I always wanted to grow a big beard but always trimmed. I finally told myself that life is too short and I should Go for it and so I did!! I'm proud to be big bearded and love when people ask me about my beard. I hope I inspire others to be who they want to be and to grow a mean beard! |

| 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.) | Actually, my beard is not the meanest beard, and that is truth. I saw alot of bearder bros whos beard is thicker and longer. For my, this competition is way to show my support to bearded community. Because growing the beard - is an activity that took time and money. And sometimes having a beard (and moustache especially ) can put you into very uncomfortable situation (yeah, eating an ice cream e.g.). But, from another side, having a beard is like have. |

| 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 bearded because I have been interested from an early age, my cousins used to have one too. When I got older my mother said why not let your beard grow I was 17 years old and let my beard grow. I have a beard because I started to feel more secure with it and people take me more seriously and I feel good about it. People with beards also have a status with a lot of wisdom. |

| Tell Us A Bit About Yourself. (Career, Hobbies, Interests) | Since I entered last year, many things have changed and there have been some life events. What it has taught me is to live life to the fullest and enjoy every moment, as well as making yourself happy is one of the most important aspects of all you do. I am now forging a new career path and I am very excited! My goal of having beards accepted in the corporate world and in the boardroom is still a big part of my interest. I am learning more about personal branding, coaching and social media management, as well as pursuing my Masters Degree. On the fun side, still love food, doggies, motorcycles, travel, working out and very much want to open a barbershop as part of my long term plans. For now staying healthy, enjoying my present and looking forward to having the Meanest Beard in 2020!! |

We Want To Know Who The Man Behind The Beard Is.) | When I started growing my beard I was intrigued, how would it look, as well as what the reaction would be from my friends and family. I have to say one of the best feelings is when someone I haven't seen in a long time has the OMG reaction to my beard.. best feeling :) Well 3 years later, my beard has become my signature, I have won at a National level, and made it to the Mean Beard Top 12 in 2019. So look out 2020, I am ready to win this! |

Mark DaGrossa. Though his beard may be mean, he’s the biggest teddy bear I know! Every year at Christmas he dons this big red suit to light up the faces of children.

I would like to cast my vote for Mark DaGrossa.
