The TOP 3 Best BEARDS of 2021: MEANest BEARD Worldwide Contest
We are proud to announce the TOP 3 MEANest BEARDS of 2021 in the world!
The TOP 3 were selected out of the TOP 12 finalists by the 10 person MEAN BEARD Judge Panel out of the 78 MEAN BEARD Contestants from 9 countries far and wide including Australia, Canada, India, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Sweden, USA, and the UK all vying for the title of the 2021 MEANest BEARD Worldwide Champion.
Narrowing down the TOP 12 contestants to the TOP 3 was an extraordinarily difficult task for the judges as these men all have exceptional full beards and they each have a story behind their beard that personifies the MEAN BEARD image of standing with purpose. The judges took into consideration three main things: the composition of the beard, the story behind the beard, and the overall fit of the person to be a representation of the MEAN BEARD brand.
In no particular order, the TOP 3 MEANest BEARDS of 2021 are:

Family over everything, first and foremost. I am a truss engineer. Fitness is a must daily. Golf with my father is a hobby. I also enjoy inspiring people through my socials, with laughter, motivation, and tough love. It saved my life, it very well could help another!
MEAN BEARD Motto: I'm the CEO of toxic positivity! I feed off inspiring others to be better and do better every single day. Let's go! Be great today!
Tell us why you have the MEANest BEARD?
I transformed my life in 2013 as I went through in-patient rehab for a 15 year drug addiction. I lost everything, my job, my family, my will to live ... complete rock bottom. I was so blinded by drug use, it makes me ill to think about it to this day, at this moment. When I say I was a different person I mean that wholeheartedly. I have been clean for 8 years now. It seems since I started my fitness transformation and growing my beard people are drawn to me, my story, my fire, my passion for life. I inspire people to change and to be grateful. This mindset changed my life. It has helped me inspire so many others as well. I feel blessed to be alive and to be able to share myself and my light with everyone.

Initially, I faced so many derides and challenges. But later, fortunately, the same who deride me appreciated me for my accomplishments, and moreover, they also started growing beard .... this is my triumph.

I am a father, grandfather, journeyman plumber, level 2 boiler operator, and a hvac technician. I enjoy learning new things and tinkering. I love cooking and the outdoors such as hiking, fishing, hunting and camping.
MEAN BEARD Motto: Don't be afraid to try something because everyone that has succeeded has failed more than anyone that has never tried!
Tell us why you have the MEANest BEARD?
I have always helped charities and fundraisers. I never knew the possibilities that a beard could do. My beard has given me the avenue to help raise money and hopefully make an impact on people's lives in a positive way. I couldn't imagine myself without a beard.
