Chulka said Monday others were more into the stage presentation, “but I was like, well, here I am.”

He said he had considered going to spectate, but Brad Jackson, owner of Roughneck Beard Company — newly opened in Maplewood — convinced him he had a chance to do well. Chulka said Jackson styled his mustache for the contest.

He said he had a clean-shaven face two years and four months ago. He estimates that his mustache is one foot end to end.
