First Name Jonas
Last Name Bergkvist
Instagram Username Zirilana
Hometown Växjö
State/Province/Region: Kronobergs län
Country Sverige (Sweden)
Bearded Since: Not counting a small break in the airforce, I've been bearded for as long as I've been able. In numbers, it's about 19-20 years now.
What Do You Do? (Career, Hobbies, Interests) I work as a CNC-operator by day and by night I spend time with my cats, my girlfriend, friends, go to a lot of concerts, watch movies/shows or play video games. In the warmer half of the year I like to take long walks or bike around in nature.
What's Your Motto / What Do You Stand For? If you look though, you have to be nice. Be yourself no matter what and treat people with the dignity and respect they deserve.
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.

"Jonas is the Swedish Beard and Moustache Champion 2016 & 2018. He has served in the Swiss Air Force. That was his only time, outside of childhood without a beard.  Jonas has a moustache that goes on for days and a beard the size of the Swiss Alps."  - MEAN BEARD Judge Panel
