Hey there, I’m Carl! Nice to meet you :) I’m giving this a shot, hopefully to meet people who would like to get to know me and I can get to know them! The kind of people where you can be honest, laugh a little, and just be yourself without judgment. I haven’t lived a perfect life, but I’ve learned from my mistakes and grown because of them. I stand on my own two feet, don’t play games, and I value honesty, loyalty, and trust above all else. Family and integrity matter to me, and I try to live by those values every day. A bit about me: I love country and rock music, reading (Norse mythology, true crime, and self-help), and history — I follow Asatru, so that part runs deep. I’m a proud U.S. Air Force veteran and a country boy at heart. I enjoy concerts, festivals, fishing, hunting, traveling, and staying busy, but I also really enjoy good conversation and getting to know people. I’ve been told I’m a good man with a kind heart and a bit of a dorky sense of humor — which I’ll gladly own. I’m just looking for pen pals who are willing to look past where I am right now and take the time to know who I am.
If you’d like to write to me and talk about the most random things, feel free! Take care and keep smiling – Carl

Hello! I’m Carl’s friend, we met through my partner who is also incarcerated. I can’t speak highly enough about the man Carl is, and the value he’s added to my life from simply knowing him. I know it’s easy for me to sit back and make comments like this, but I really do mean it when I say, he is someone who made a terrible mistake, was in the wrong place at the wrong time and is more than worth the time and effort. I wouldn’t invite someone into my life or my family if they weren’t going to add value, so I can really vouch for the man that he is today. He’s a big dork, funny and one of the kindest and gentle souls that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. You’ll have a friend for life. I promise. **
