Hello, my name is Tim, but those closest to me call me Loyal. I have nothing to hide, and I haven't forgotten how I came to be here. I left the streets and my past behind. Through God's grace, I didn't receive a life sentence. Nowadays, I strive daily to improve myself and become a more educated man and a better father for my 14-year-old daughter. Since being incarcerated, I've earned my High School Diploma with honors, received a certification in Custodial Maintenance, and a certification in Automotive Technology. I'm currently studying construction and other building trades. Upon my release, I hope to open a company where I can work for myself and make sure that my elderly parents, as well as my daughter, are financially secure. I spend my spare time, when not in class, playing sports to keep in shape and writing creatively. I write novels, music, as well as original poetry. When outside of these walls, I enjoy recording music, riding motorcycles, bowling, playing pool, hunting, and customizing vehicles and homes for myself as well as for clients. I have a deep-rooted entrepreneurial spirit that was passed down to me from my parents, who were both business owners during my youth. I'm a very genuine person, and I believe it shows in everything that I do. My facial expressions tend to betray my every thought, which is fine by me because I don't feel the need to lie to anyone or sugarcoat uneasy situations or subjects. Lying takes too much because of the tremendous amount of energy that is required to keep a lie going. I believe that as a man I should be forthcoming whenever possible when meeting a woman, so that she can, in turn, make an educated decision on whether she wants to be a part of my life... I refuse to be a liar, so liars need not contact me. It would be a waste of time, yours and mine. What I'm looking for is a woman with life experience, with whom I can build and create a lasting bond. If you feel as though you fit that criterion and would like to meet someone real who doesn't play games, please contact me... My mailing address is below.
