Hello,
A little bit about myself is that several years after my capital murder trial, I was diagnosed with a mental illness and began receiving treatment for it, I subsequently commenced meeting with a psychologist to learn about my illness and how it affects me. I would eventually discover that it played a role in the choices that I made that led to my incarceration.
After my death sentence was commuted in 2020, I was allowed to enroll in a cook nutrition care specialist Apprenticeship. Having witnessed how well I’d been managing my own mental illness; I also was encouraged by staff to start taking the training and earning the work experience hours and getting the supervision hours that I needed to be eligible to take the exams to become a National Certified Peer Specialist (NCPS) I’m now waiting to take the exam to become a CPFS. I hadn’t always been dedicated to becoming or being a cook nutrition care specialist, NCPS, or CPFS. However, the choices that I made that led me to having now spent over 31 years in prison changed my initial goal of becoming an engineer.
In 2022, I was selected to participate in a dynamic leadership and entrepreneurial course called “The Challenge”, which was facilitated by Breakthrough Alliance of Colorado. After completing their 36-week course, I graduated with a certificate of entrepreneurial achievement from Colorado State University.
Amongst other things that I learned from that course, I realized that I’d been lacking human connection with people who live beyond prison walls. Having spent over 18 years in administrative segregation aka solitary confinement, while I had death sentences, I’d become to accustomed to pushing people away and being alone. Thanks to the challenge, and my education on my mental health, I’m ready to meet new people, form new friendships, and maybe even explore a possible relationship.
So, you give me a holla. Take some time to get to know me. I’m not the person the media/prosecutors have portrayed me to be.
