About Bearded Villains Orlando

Founded in 2015, Bearded Villains Orlando has proudly represented Brotherhood, Loyalty, Honor, and Respect across Central Florida and beyond. What started as a few like-minded men has grown into a chapter with deep roots, strong values, and a commitment to giving back.

Now, under new leadership, we’re entering our next era—with the same heart, but even more focus. We're here to build, support, and lead with purpose. Whether it's charity work, community presence, or showing up for each other, this chapter stays ten years strong and only getting stronger.

This isn’t just about beards—it’s about brotherhood that lasts.

Captian

My name is Alexei, also known as Bubbles or Mr. Aries72, and I am proud to serve as the Captain of the Orlando Chapter.

I am originally from New Jersey but have called Orlando home for almost 18 years now. I’m a big brother, a dad, and an uncle of many. Family means everything to me, and being part of a big family has taught me the importance of love, loyalty, and always showing up for the people you care about. I’ve always held family as my greatest priority.

I still remember the day back in 2018 when I first reached out to an Orlando Chapter member to learn more about the brotherhood. Shortly after, I was introduced to the captain, the officers, and a few members. That meeting changed everything for me—listening to their words, I knew immediately this was where I belonged. I had found the brotherhood I was looking for.

Community service has always been part of who I am. As a former Boy Scout and a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, giving back has been a lifelong passion. Through Bearded Villains Orlando, I’ve rediscovered that purpose—serving the community, supporting causes, and standing alongside my chapter brothers.

My journey with Bearded Villains is nowhere near the end. I’m still here, still enjoying every moment of this brotherhood, from community service to the camaraderie to the bonds that will last a lifetime. I know there are more achievements ahead, more memories to create, and more friendships that will grow deeper as the years go on.

Co - Captain

Michael “Bearded Olaf” (Co-Captain)


Hi, the name’s Michael, also known as Bearded Olaf. I am originally from Hollywood, FL but now reside in St. Cloud. I’m a proud dad to twin girls who keep me busy with softball, and this year I’ve even taken on the role of coaching their team. Family time means everything to me, whether it’s traveling together, enjoying the outdoors, or supporting my kids on the field. I’m also a fan of college football — the Miami Hurricanes are my team.

Being a Villain has shown me what it truly means to be part of a brotherhood. When I first reached out to the club back in 2020, I never expected the level of loyalty, respect, and family I would find here. This brotherhood has pushed me to grow, challenged me to be a better man, and given me brothers I know I can count on.

I am passionate about volunteering, giving back, and being part of a community that makes a difference. Whether it’s lending a hand, serving alongside my brothers, or sharing a laugh, I’m always driven by connection, service, and camaraderie.

Lieutenant

TJ “Hero” (Lieutenant)

My name is TJ, but my brothers know me as Hero. At my core, I strive to be a decent human being — someone who leads with humility, empathy, and consistency. For me, being a Bearded Villain is more than just wearing a patch or standing in brotherhood. It’s about putting others before yourself, showing up when it matters, and giving back to the communities that raised us.

When I joined Bearded Villains Orlando, I quickly realized it was one of the best decisions I had ever made. What I found wasn’t just camaraderie, but a group of men committed to making a difference and holding each other accountable to a higher standard. The brotherhood has pushed me to grow and continues to inspire me daily.

By profession, I am an explosives expert — a career that demands precision, focus, and discipline. Outside of work, I’m a lover of all things outdoors. Whether it’s spending time in nature, seeking adventure, or finding peace in wide open spaces, the outdoors keeps me grounded and balanced.

To me, being a Villain means living with intention: breaking away from selfishness, lifting others up, and leaving a positive mark wherever you go. This journey is just beginning, and I look forward to the memories, achievements, and bonds that will only grow stronger with time.

Sergeant

RJ “SoXks”  (Sergeant)


My name is RJ , also known as SoXks, and I am proud to serve as the Sergeant of the Orlando Chapter.

I was born and raised in Florida, and over the years I’ve carried many titles — father, builder, leader, and brother. Family has always been my foundation, and it continues to shape the man I strive to be every day. Loyalty, honor, and respect are the values I live by, and they guide how I show up for my loved ones, my brothers, and my community.

I came across Bearded Villains at a time when I was searching for something real — not just a group, but a true brotherhood. From the moment I connected with the Orlando Chapter, I knew this was where I belonged. Being a Villain is more than growing a beard; it’s about service, accountability, and standing shoulder to shoulder with men who live by their word.

By trade, I am a Superintendent with over 25 years of experience in construction, and I also run my own company, BuildsWorth Construction. My career has taught me the importance of precision, discipline, and integrity — lessons I carry into everything I do. I believe in building things that last, not just with my hands, but with my actions and relationships.

Outside of work and the brotherhood, I’m a proud father whose greatest motivation comes from my kids. I’m also a student of philosophy and stoicism, always striving to grow, learn, and live with purpose. Whether on the job site, at an event, or with my brothers, I aim to show up with strength, empathy, and authenticity.

My journey with Bearded Villains is only beginning. I look forward to building more memories, creating impact in our community, and deepening the bonds with the men who stand alongside me.

Jon A.K.A. Punk

Jonathan “Punk” (Member)

My name is Jonathan, but my brothers know me as Punk, and I am proud to call the Orlando Chapter my home. My journey with Bearded Villains began in New Mexico, and what started as a way to give back to the community I was raised in has grown into something far greater.

I joined Bearded Villains to serve, but little did I know it would connect me to a worldwide brotherhood — men from all walks of life, different yet alike, bound by the same values. To me, being a Villain means breaking the status quo and making a positive impact in the world around us. Since the day I joined, it has been one continuous journey of service and growth, both for myself and my community.

Outside of the brotherhood, I work as an Audio Engineer and educator, helping spread the joy and badassery of live audio. Music and sound have been my passion, and sharing that energy with others is a big part of who I am.

Being a Bearded Villain is more than just wearing the patch — it’s about showing up, leading by example, and leaving the world better than you found it.

Gaby - El Padrino

Gaby (Member)

My name is Gaby, and I’ve been part of Bearded Villains since 2016. What first drew me in was the opportunity to give back through charity and to make a positive difference in my community. I quickly realized this brotherhood was much more than I expected — it became a family, a support system, and a way of life.

For me, being a Villain means being the kind of man humanity should strive to be: leading by example, showing compassion, and looking out for others. It’s about standing tall, giving more than you take, and making sure the people around you feel supported.

By trade, I’ve spent over seven years working in retail as part of loss prevention. That role taught me discipline, awareness, and accountability — qualities I carry with me into my daily life and into this brotherhood. Just like in my profession, I take pride in protecting what matters and keeping those around me safe.

Since the very beginning of the Orlando Chapter, I’ve been proud to be involved in building its foundation and watching it grow. Every event, every act of service, and every bond formed has reinforced why I joined — to be part of something bigger than myself, and to always push forward in unity with my brothers.
