Hello, from the hot – sometimes cloudy and windy (but also kinda fenced in) terrain of Marion, Illinois. Even though I’m merely two hours from St. Louis, Nashville, and the border of Kentucky, somehow can still feel the Chicago wind. Please don’t allow the distance to discourage you. And I’m also a firm believer of “strangers being friends who’ve just haven’t had the chance to meet yet.” [WINK]
My name is Taurean, but my close friends call me Rich. I’m the ultimate blend of Cape Verdean spices and Texas charm – they tell me it’s quite a nice combo. [WINK] [SMILE]
I’m a young spirited but mature 37-year-old male with light honey brown eyes. I originally hail from the land of cowboys and big hats-yep, Dallas, Texas. Unfortunately, for the last fourteen years Ive been forced to temporarily trade my spurs and boots for flip flops and prison clothing. But I must say my time here has been less than idle.
I love working out and eating healthy, but when I’m not flexing my muscles, I’m flexing my imagination. I’m an avid reader and writer. I’ve written 11 book manuscripts and 7 true crime podcasts. Prior to prison I owned and operated an adult entertainment management and multimedia company – eventually leading to regretting the latter. Following my nearly 14 years of incarceration I’ve fully rehabilitated from criminally inclined ways of thinking. I obtained an associate’s degree in business administration through Rio Salado College, a certification in paralegal studies through Blackstone Career Institute, and I currently attend Stratford Career Institute to study social media strategy. I’m also well versed in credit repair and inflation for personal and business credit. At the end of the day, I just seek another chance at getting out of prison and being successful again – legitimately. Before my grandmother passed away on 6-1-2026 I made a vow to get out of prison and never come back again. Ive made my time in here count for something,
I love to go boating, and I love to kick up dirt on a dirt bike or ATV (don’t worry I promise not to get any dirt in your hair) [WINK]
I eagerly seek to form a friendship with one authentic individual. Having been incarcerated for so long I’ve lost a lot of friends and family. However, I’ve matured, learned, and I’m ready to explore the beauty of a possible friendship with someone supportive, nonjudgmental, caring and honest. A believer in second chances is a must. Someone who values deep conversations, idea exchanges and betterment. Maturity is a must.
WARNING!!! I have big dreams.
Well, it’s time for me to go and work out, and then it’s off to do some homework. I’ll be waiting for you. Be sure to include your name, phone number, email address, etc. If possible, download the FREEPRINTS app to your phone and send me some pictures. Be safe!
