“I started growing my beard some 9 years ago; before this I had a well trimmed goatee, and felt I wanted to go to the next level and have the full blown image.

“I grow it for me - not because of fashions or tribe followings - and I enjoy my beard.

“I married in 2016 after being together for over 5 amazingly happy years, and luckily my wife loves my beard.

“I am a keen fisherman, I love DIY and am fairly competent, but my main passions are my family, food and Rugby Union (Guinness playing a huge part of it!)”
