       I became a Marine at age 17, but was imprisoned before turning 18 (1980).  Had great parents and wonderful opportunities during my teens, but was deeply troubled by emotional insecurities that influenced my willingness to exploit the vulnerabilities of others, without concern for the consequences they suffered.  What I did and who I was is shameful, but I've worked hard to become a better man and lead a better life.

      I'm college-educated in business, psychology, sociology and Criminal Justice and vocationally trained in auto mechanics, word processing, graphic arts and horticulture sciences.  I will likely pursue a career in graphic design or horticulture industries when released.

     I'm a hard working, ambitious and goal - oriented achiever with diverse abilities, interests, skills and talents, including learning new technologies, gardening, being outdoors, reading novels, writing, playing saxophone, softball and hockey and most importantly, SHARING LAUGHTER AND GOOD TIMES WITH FRIENDS!

     I'm open minded and expressive with good communication skills, non - judgmental of others, spiritual, but not religious, and committed to good values, including honesty, sincerity, compassion, kindness, devotion and personal accountability.

     I was married to a good woman 24 years before her confusing and unexpected abandonment led to our April 2007 divorce.  As I begin rebuilding my life with new plans for the future, I'm hoping to find someone special to accompany me along the way.

     I'm seeking a meaningful relationship with a mature woman of like interests who will appreciate and value the man I've become, rather than condemn me for the crimes of my past.  I will be grateful for the privilege to be a part of your life.

     If you are that special person, I am eager to hear from you, so please write soon!
