About me.

I am from Detroit, MI and was working as a security officer. I have had to stop working since coming into shelter and am currently looking for a job that I can work during the day.

My backstory.

In 2017, I reconnected with my Father (who I hadn't seen since I was 6). I left everything behind in Michigan and moved to Texas with him. It was my dream to live with him and get to know him better. Unfortunately, my Father and I did not get along so well. He kicked me out and I ended up back here in Michigan.

My goals, moving forward.

Once I return back to Texas with my Family and Daughter, I hope to find an job in my field as a Fugitive Recovery Agent.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

I love to spend time with my family and accomplishing my goals. I hope one day to open up a business as a private investigator. I also want to write a book about my life and what I have been through.
