Welcome, Collin! You've got a great Van Dyke going on, cool look! As for the cheeks: don't give up yet, especially if there are no issues at work or at home. Take a look through some progress threads, especially Fork's, and see what time and patience can do. He's also a good example for the fact that a strong front part (goatee and stache) is drawing much of the attention and you seem to care less about the sides in this case.

But I could also mention my own situation, because I've got weak cheeks, just like you. In my experience, length can cover up a lot and with time your cheeks will look more dense. Just keep going and find out, how it will look in a couple of month's time. Do what you want to do and look like, not what others want you to do!
