| 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 think that a beard is just a part of my genes. I've never seen my dad without a beard and while growing up, it just felt like a beard was the only path to go down. Clean shaven never even occurred to me once. I never felt complete though until i started to grow out a full beard in September 2013. It felt like I found myself for the first time in my life. This is me. This beard will follow me into my grave many years for now. |

Some of my hobbies are shooting billiards with friends and playing for my team in the local bar league. I also like hiking, hitting the gym and swimming.

| 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?) | The reason behind my beard is because of my father he had a really nice beard and when I realized I could grow one just like his I did. I let it run wild before I tamed it, but not just cause he had one, it's the person he is. He inspires me to be just like him, always looking out for his family, making sure they're good before himself, always working hard and taking pride in what he does. So with that said, I have the meanest beard because of him. |
