Beard Of The Month - July 2014 - Beardimus Maximus
It's been a sweltering summer so bless the bearded boys for staying true and not giving in to the temptation of shaving!
Meet Mr. July 2014, Taylor a.k.a Beardimus Maximus! He may look familiar if you tuned into True Life on MTV where he went head to head with people around him who didn't agree with his bearded lifestyle. Taylor and his beard prevailed and we are certainly glad they did! You can find him living in Fredericksburg, VA where he owns a company called Care Beards which organizes events and fund-raisers. Taylor enjoys hanging with his friends and family, traveling, and is a big rock music fan.
