Hello, my name is Walter, but most people know me as Trey. I was born on Christmas Day, which I like to think says a little something about me—I’ve always tried to carry a bit of light and positivity wherever I can. I’m 5'8", with hazel eyes and dirty blonde hair, and I stay grounded through working out and focusing on becoming a better man each day. I’m a huge sports fan—Sacramento Kings and Raiders all the way—and I enjoy playing basketball, soccer, and card games. I’ve also got a goofy side. I love cracking dad jokes, and my niece and I even have an ongoing joke competition that keeps us both laughing. More than anything, I want to be seen for who I am. I’m not defined by my circumstances—I’m someone who’s learning, growing, and putting in the work every day to move forward. I’ll be honest: I’m serving time for something I didn’t do, and I felt a lot of pressure to accept a deal at the time. It’s not something that defines me, but it is part of my story. What matters most to me is who I am today and who I’m working to become. I’ve focused a lot on self-reflection, emotional growth, and building a strong foundation for the future. Being part of men’s support groups has helped me open up and grow in ways I never expected. I’m currently working toward my Associate’s Degree in Sociology, and education has really changed my perspective. It’s taught me discipline, responsibility, and the importance of growth. I’m committed to using what I’ve learned to give back and be a positive force when I return to the community. What I’m looking for is a real connection—someone to talk with, share thoughts with, and build a genuine friendship based on honesty and respect. I believe people are more than their worst moments, and that one connection can truly make a difference. A quote that stays with me is: “I am not what happens to me, but who I choose to become.” If you feel like reaching out, I’d truly appreciate it. Whether it’s through the Securustech website or app or a letter, I’d be grateful to hear from you. I’m open to connecting with people from anywhere. Thank you for taking the time to read this—it means more than you know.
