“Hi - I'm Marc, originally from Oldham but now living on the Wirral.

“I've always had facial hair in one form or another.

“I started growing my beard about 9 years ago when the Football team I support, Tranmere Rovers, got relegated. I said as a joke I wasn't going to shave until we got promoted!

“When we did in May 2018, I decided just to trim it as I've grown fond of it!

“My hobbies are photography, which I've dabbled with for about 8 years, playing bass in my band and getting the odd tattoo.

“I also do crossfit to try and stay in some form of shape.”
