About Us

Our Background

Founded in 2018 by Chris " The Mayor" Atkinson. He started off doing Facebook live videos from his personal page. After getting a small following he decided to branch out and get a group of friends together to share views on various topics. That is when Nick Howell and Steven Shuffler joined.The Bearded Opinion was born. Along the way a local bar, Fyreside Bottles and Brews, agreed to be the home of TBO. After a few live shows Chris brought on his friend David Clark as a special guest. Dave did a few more shows and Chris decided to make him a honorary member. Rob Bolick is an employee at Fyreside and is exceptionally skilled with a camera. After seeing his work from shooting a few live shows for TBO he was asked to join the team. Everyone that is a part of TBO come from all walks of life and each person brings a different dynamicto the group. TBO is a big supporter of the "shop local" movement. We enjoy helping and seeing small businesses thrive in our community.

Chris Atkinson

The Mayor

Much can be said about the man, the myth, the legend Chris" The Mayor" Atkinson. According to his wife though, he is a perpetual 12 year old. He is into retro video games, laserdisc, and collecting vinyl.

Nick Howell

Nickelob Ultra

Host of The Bearded Opinion. He's all about the Patriots and Tom Brady. He's been a Duke fan since he was 6 years old but is way more of a football fan than basketball. Which is odd since he was an excellent basketball player when he was younger. His world revolves around his wife and daughter. his hobbies include video editing, golf, lifting weights, and playing shooter/RPG games on the PC. For nick nothing is more important than family and friends so he tries to surround himself with those.
