Are you looking for something different?

My name is Darren, and I am not your ordinary prisoner. I've been down for nearly 15 years, and in that time, I have learned what things are important to me in life. I am looking to connect with positive-minded people who are looking for more than just a quick conversation or passing interest. If you're looking for the stereotypical prisoner to tell you his war stories or how he's some sort of kingpin, go ahead and move on to the next profile. This one is not for you.

For me, it's who a person is on the inside that's important. I am not hung up on looks or an age difference. I want a true friend who is honest, loyal, and interested in bettering their life. Someone who is interested in a true and lasting friendship built on honesty, attention, and appreciation for one another. I am not into the superficial.

During my incarceration, I have been busy. I have educated myself and started several companies. I am an author and started my own publishing company. I turned that into a successful advocacy group that helped many people. I currently own and operate a mortgage company that helps low-income people purchase homes.

I am single and have never been married. I'm not sure this is the place to find "the one" but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

If you are looking for someone who has nothing but time to dedicate to you, someone with honesty, integrity, and class, someone who will shower you with attention and who will be there for you, reach out today. Meet someone, unlike the others on this site. Read more to find out what makes me different.

I know what most of these profiles look like. Shaved head, tattoos, "Uh... I lift weights, I like music, and... animals are cool." Get them on the phone, and they can't finish a sentence without asking, "You know what I mean?" I currently live in a world of exactly that and let me tell you, it gets old fast. How am I different you may ask. Well, I'm a...

I am constantly reading books, and I am very into educating myself. I am always working to be a better me. I am currently on a scholarship at Southern Utah University. I studied Real Estate, Finance, Business, Marketing, Contracting, and Construction Management.

I have launched several businesses during my incarceration with varied degrees of success. This was no easy task from a prison day room. I am a very productive person and I like to stay busy. I owned and operated a photo seller company. I've authored and published many self-help books and started my own publishing company. I also penned, published, and distributed a nationwide newsletter aimed at justice reform. The response from this project was so great that it led to me founding a prison reform advocacy group. I then founded and launched an index/co-op of prisoner-owned companies and projects to create a community of support for their success. Together we have worked to enhance the lives of many positive-minded incarcerated individuals by providing them an opportunity to do something meaningful and productive during their sentences. I also own and operate a mortgage company that helps low-income people purchase homes and work with them to keep their payments around what they currently pay to rent.

I am a country boy and maybe a bit of a cowboy. I have never been married but do have adult daughters. Family is very important to me. I have even written books about parenting from prison and preserving family relationships during incarceration. I am very loyal and loving. I would describe myself as a hopeless romantic. I am strong, athletic, and fit. The woods are my happy place, but I love the beach too. I am very ambitious and if I'm being honest, a bit of a workaholic. I am empathic, find it easy to connect with others, and see things from their perspective. I do volunteer work and head the hospice program at this institution. I can be either extroverted or closed off depending on the situation. I love to laugh and can be very funny. I am a good listener. I would say that I am old-fashioned in a lot of ways and the kind of guy your father or grandfather would respect and get along with.

I connect more with personality than looks. I am attracted to intelligence, good conversation, and a sense of humor. I don't do drama. If I could convey one thing to you right now it would be, please don't be afraid to contact me. We may connect and hit it off. I truly don't care about your age, body type, or about any of the things that most people get hung up on. I am putting myself out there. I am a prisoner, and my life is not in the greatest place right now. There is nothing that I won't share with you about me. I am kind, loving, and always a gentleman. I have a huge heart and don't want to miss an opportunity to get to know someone special over insecurities. We all have them. I've put myself out there, and I hope you'll do the same. If you're interested, please write me. We could be the people we have both been waiting for. I will respond to every letter I receive.
