(I got 2 kids) but, I dream of having a chance to give the world a wonderful person that can make a serious "impact".

A bit about yourself you'd like possible pen pals to know: I am really from a small town outside of Austin, Texas (Manor). I've lived in Austin, Arlington, & Lubbock. Never left Texas though. (Flew to Cancun resort when I was a kid) Drugs & Alcohol lore me apart. But didn't completely take me awhile & my stay in prison has really taught me who I really am and what really matters in life and what any true purpose is. I'm a family man. And strong emotional support that they are waiting to have back home. I love the freedom of this country even with the city slick or men were picked upon from institutions I have been in so many years. Not a proud person. But I love quality time with friends just talking, joking around. I'm so much more of a person than I painted myself out t and that I can be misunderstood at times, I find joy in being able to be there for people as I long for the same.

Hobbies: Reading, sports. I have to read to exercise my mind. I read a variety of titles it just has to be good. Love discussing good books I've read. It's difficult to maintain a hobby other than that and exercising in this crazy environment so would love to hear of other hobbies to give me a taste of life that is being forgotten 😄😄

Dreams and/or Wishes: My dreams are to get these bad convictions off my back and go home. To live a good life and be around family and friends. I'd love to start my own business with my brother and nephew who are already laying the foundation for that. The internet was in its infancy when I got locked up and I've never had cheese in the crust pizza. LOL, I dream of experiencing these and so much more would have to hear all things new from the world.

A bit about yourself you'd like possible pen pals to know: I've been maintaining hope for the future in a place that breeds hopelessness. I've been in this negative environment. I've spent these years doing the prison jobs assigned to me and going to school. I've obtained three college degrees over these years. I will answer all letters and be a good friend to whoever will take the step to share a little time with me through a letter. I'm looking to forge a friendship that will stand the test of time. God is good! And I'm blessed in spirit and gladly share these blessings in a way that'll make your soul smile with every letter you read. 😄 Convicts are considered castaways but in me, you'll not find a truer friend. I am worth the effort and time will prove this true. . .

Hobbies: My hobbies on the outside include: Reading, Search and Rescue, Hunting, Fishing, Rock Climbing, Camping, hiking, Riding Motorcycles, playing pool, tinkering with electronics, pretending to be a mechanic, helping friends with miscellaneous jobs, and learning new things. My hobbies in prison include Reading, yoga, conversation, helping people when I'm able, studying Spanish, as well as electronic & radio theory, one learning, dreaming, pondering, attempting to have a meaningful conversation, as well as much as I can about sailing.

Dreams and/or Wishes: My first and foremost hope is that I will be physically reunited with my family. Then after spending a great deal of time with family and friends, I would like to follow my dream of sailing the world, exploring other cultures and becoming a writer on some capacity.

A bit about yourself you'd like possible pen pals to know: I'm looking for friends and meaningful conversation. The beautiful thing about meaning, when used in that context, is that we are each the author of what is meaningful, so feel free to write about what matters to you. I grew up on a horse farm with my parents and sister in rural Pennsylvania. Much of my time was spent with my grandparents on their beef farm and a strong family bond was formed which continues to this day. As a teen, I became interested in search and rescue and had a dream of joining the Marines. I set aside that dream to attend a technical school and pursue a more stable career in Informational Technology and cultivate the relationship with my girlfriend at the time. After graduating and working in the field for a while, I realised how incompatible we really were. We split up and I joined the Marines. I was deployed to Afghanistan in 2011 and upon returning home, I rushed into a relationship which ended in divorce about a year and a half later. The woman I was dating when I was arrested was able to move on and find happiness with a good friend of mine. I know I've spent a lot of time on romantic relationships, but that is what was important to me during those years. Now my priorities are slightly different and I'm more looking for people headed in similar directions! If I happen to find a woman going in close to the same and it turns into more, I would be fine with that, but it's not a priority.
