Chief Pogonophile and Chairman of TBBMC 14.

“My love of facial hair started over 22 years ago when I first met my partner Steve, who at the time sported an impressively long goatee - it was love at first beard fondle!

“The flames of my love for facial fuzz were fanned when I attended the 2007 Worlds in Brighton and then the 1st Wessex Beard Competition - since then it has been a roller-coaster of beardy loveliness!”
