Today is The Beard’s 30th birthday!

Did you know his hair is super fluffy and curly? No this isn’t from 1970.

He was once a pure, young lil bb with no beard at all.

Many people don’t know that he was a musician in the local Provo scene for years – that’s how we met!

And he’s also a huge fraidy-cat, which is the very best thing about his big, bearded, burly, tough guy schtick.

Happy birthday to my best friend, my biggest fan, my unconditional support! I’m looking forward to the next 30 years with you. <3
