My name is Mike, I'm a tattoo artist from Muskegon, Michigan and I'm hoping to meet some people prior to getting released. I was pretty young when I came to prison and I've been here roughly 13 years now but I get out relatively soon Hopefully within a few months if I complete the program I'm in, or two years at the latest.

I'm a very open, honest, and genuine person. I try to be as transparent as possible and despite my tattoos, I'm a caring and compassionate guy with a great sense of humor.

I've just been in prison too long because I'm into taking long walks on the back 40 with other dudes and candlelit cook ups in a cell made for two... I'm only joking I'm definitely strait as they come but people really do come from all over the state for this food. I try to make the best of every situation, but I'm still working on some negative emotionality. I've had a rough life but I'm trying to see the good in everything now days. Scripture and my faith in God has really helped me get my life together.

I was in a relationship for 6 years prior to prison and have been single for the majority of the time I've been here. I fell into drugs and partying when that relationship went downhill which ultimately led to my incarnation. Now, I take my sobriety very seriously. I don't do any drugs, and I work out everyday except on the sabbath.

I'd truly like to find a relationship and get married, but for now I'm only looking for friends. I've seen how relationships end in here and I couldn't take the heartbreak.

I'm very independent, have my own money and support myself, but I have no idea how to live life out there anymore. I'll need help adjusting to society and I'm hoping to find someone my age or older that have life experience. I truly don't want to talk to anyone under 30, but if you are still reading this I would love to hear from you.
