“Hello Brothers, I'm Thomas (Tom)!

“I've been bearded for a good seven years now, having tried various lengths and styles but these days I'm going for a traditional long (or at long as I can get it!) beard.

“I look after it better than I look after myself at times and can't now imagine being beardless again.

“I am born and raised in Stockport, and on the weekends I frequent the many bars on the marketplace trying out different beers - one of my passions.

“My other hobbies and interests include music and live music - mainly heavy metal but I also like punk, electronic, dance, pop, new wave and all sorts really. I love tattoos, films (horror films are my favourite), PS4 gaming, cycling, football - Manchester United fan - and also playing Fantasy Football.

“I live with my girlfriend of 3 years and together we enjoy going on walks, going on drives, good food, good beer and rum, meeting new people and film nights in.

“I work in printing and sign making mainly as an artworker but also as a printer and sign fitter.

“Thanks to Staff I am also a member of the Stockport Member Thatch, Stockport Beards.”
