I’m a Texas native, born and raised. I am 6 foot 2 inches, about 180 pounds. 42 years old, with a shaved head and goatee. I do exercise intensely 3 times a week and recently lost more than 25 pounds.
I’m currently serving time in Texas State Prison. I’ll come up for parole in 2037. I’ll be honest about that, because honesty matters a lot to me. I have made mistakes, BIG ones! But I do take full responsibility for them. However, if you’re curious about what lead to this, I’m an open book, so just ask…
Before this, I spent my life working hard and building things with my hands. Although I am extremely talented when it comes to building and rebuilding many things. My biggest passion ended up being rebuilding and customizing all kinds of vehicles. I actually owned my own successful body shop called Harlow’s Customs for many years. You can still find some of my work online, but only some.
When life allowed, I loved being outdoors. Hiking, swimming, kayaking, four wheeling, and even digging for arrowheads. Now I work as a Self-Harm Prevention Specialist. Spending much of my time reaching out to others. Helping them through tough times. I walk the unit looking for people to help. But in the little free time I have between helping others and taking classes, I read a variety of different books.
Although I do wear hearing aids, I still enjoy listening to music when possible. I listen to just about everything. Everything from Lauren Daigel, Jelly Roll, 80’s and 90’s Country, Creed, Audioslave, Nirvana, Nickelback, Disturbed, Godsmack or even nodding along to Techno music in a movie, which I also love watching. I also really enjoy laughing and having fun. Life’s too short to spend it in the dumps.
I have a lot of personal goals I’m working on while in here. But I mainly want to become the best version of myself that’s possible. That way I can still serve God, while effectively serving others. It’s not always easy, especially while in an environment where negativity and darkness are everywhere.
I am just a man hoping to connect with a genuine woman who shares similar beliefs and tastes. Someone down to earth, who wants to get to know me for who I am.
Sincerely,
Bobby Harlow
