Personal Facts

Greetings from Texas Death Row! I have lived in total isolation since arriving on death row in April of 2003. The solitude becomes unbearable. I am reaching out to those on the outside in order to develop a meaningful friendship, to help lift the shroud of darkness I live under. Some of the topics that hold my interest are philosophy, history, and science, religions of the world, mythology, some sports, the outdoors and life in general. I basically love to learn. Therefore I welcome anyone that wished to write. Personal views on the death penalty do not matter to me. We are all different so we all hold different beliefs. What matters is that I am a human being just as you are and from that point we can build a friendship. I was sentence to death at the age of 19, under the Law of Parties, for Capital Murder. It has been a hard transition to go from facing my whole life ahead of me to facing death. These walls offer no comfort. That is why I am reaching out to you through these pages. I live an idle existence derived from being housed in a single man cell. The key means of evading the stress caused by this environment is reading books and writing letters. So I have little to look forward to. To be honest with you, receiving mail is the most exciting part of each day. I am open to write to anyone. Age, race, gender, and sexual orientation does not matter and has no bearing on a potential friendship.

I am a very open minded person that enjoys reading books pertaining to mythology, folklore, psychology, fabels, philosophy, since, history, and world religions. I like some sports, the outdoors, anything that makes me laugh, and life in general.

I spend most of my time in here working on my case. I was wrongfully convicted. Now I know this is a common claim amongst prisoners. Though I have the proof, that was not admitted into evidence at my trial, due to my lawyers mistakes. I am no angel, though I am not guilty of murder. Spending all my time on my case gets stressful, so I am looking for someone that I can develope a meaningful friendship with, inwhich we can both gain mentally & emotionally. I am ahead of my years, mental wise. Getting the death penalty at 19 years old, does provide a rude awakening. But I do not allow my situation to control me.

I enjoy listening to music. Mostly older rock & country. As well as some latin. I like music that tells a story and provides emotion in the song. I am a very deep thinker and enjoy hearing how others feel, as well as expressing myself so others can better understand me. I am also looking for legal help.

The only things that matter to me are sincerity, maturity, and an open mind. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and look forward to hearing from you. I will greatly appreciate your letter sent directly to me at:
