Hi, I’m Mark and I’m unique. I have spent 21 years as a student, athlete, soldier, son, brother, friend and father. Most men would be proud of that life. That’s only half my story, because the next 21 years were spent in prison. I’m also a liar, cheater, and criminal. 42 years and different roles both were me. I said were, because I’m neither the boy of my youth or the young man of my past today. I know who I am and what I want out of life.
I’m hoping to meet someone who can expand my world. I need a healthy relationship in my life… no gamer, no liar. Any healthy relationship must be started on trust, communication and compromise. I’m ready to be trusted with all your vulnerabilities, insecurities and emotions and I will trust you with mine. I’m looking for a best friend, one I can really count on. I believe with trust and communication it’s easy to compromise. I’m willing to get uncomfortable and take risk trying new things. I’m done looking backwards my life’s ahead of me.
My plan is to completely enjoy the years I have left. Hopefully with people who know how to live life to the max. I want someone who can enjoy good food, good movies and great travel. I need someone truly exceptionally to share the best year of my life with. I’m not waiting on life to stop being hard to begin living it.
