My Bio

Thanks for looking at my profile. A bit about myself: I’m a personal trainer, I love to exercise and I owned my own Gym. I also practiced MMA. I won awards for my tattoo work and also owned my own tttoo shop. I like to sketch and read. When my grandmother passed away her wish was that I’d find my way to God through Jesus. After poor decisions in life, struggling with chemical dependency I found myself back in prison. Some place I swore I’d never go again. I turned to the faith my grandmother wished for me and I discovered a new way of thinking and living. I’m currently in a voluntary faith based program. Participants apply and are accepted or denied. This program is important to me. I feel like my relationship with Jesus Christ and God is something that was missing in my life previously. I’m grateful that I was accepted into this program. The program is verifiable and can be checked on the Lino Lakes DOC site. I mention this because it’s a two year program in which I’m not allowed to work. The program itself is intensive. Normally I would be working as I did before. I will not ask you for money, but if you’d like a reply please utilize the Prepaid reply feature on the JPay app. I’d like to be able to reply to any message and I will try my best even if a prepaid reply isn’t included although it may take me longer to get the resources. Again, not asking for anything, I hate to even ask for a stamp to reply. It’s difficult to let down my pride here and ask. What I’m looking for: People who push me out of my comfort zone and challenge me to be a better person. Friends with mutual interests, especially friends who can help guide me on the path of spirituality. I truly believe that if I had found my faith earlier in life I would be out there contributing to society rather than in here. The only way to move is forward though and although I take responsibility, I’m working to forgive myself and move forward. Both men and women are free to contact me especially regarding religious or spiritual beliefs. I am heterosexual though and I’m looking for friendships centered more around genuine connection and a mutual bond through faith. The program I’m attending keeps me very busy but if you write I will write back. I appreciate the kindness that a stranger would extend to me and it gives me faith that although I’ve made mistakes, I can still be a positive force in people’s lives. Prison can often be isolating, so the little bits of everyday life that are normally boring, well, I appreciate just hearing about those. Prison can sometimes feel like the same day over and over again. It’s nice to hear from people who are outside living their lives. There are so many little things that I appreciate so much more now and I’m looking forward to doing again. I know that for some reason I was lost and wound up where I am, I take full responsibility, but I also believe that in some way I may have been meant to find God one way or the other. My faith is what is giving me the strength to find my own weaknesses, admit to my faults, and try to be a better person moving forward. What I wouldn’t give for a cup of brewed coffee. Me and coffee, we have a special relationship. Regardless of who you are, I appreciate you taking the time to check out my profile. I hope you find something in common and send me a quick hello. I’ve been told I’m friendly and easy to talk to, I don’t judge people harshly and even those who aren’t spiritual in any way, that’s ok, I’ve been there, we all find out own paths. I could use some strength and prayer from my fellow Christians and I’m always open to an interesting conversation. Hope to hear from you soon. ...(more)
