Upon my release from prison, I paroled to Austin, Texas where I live and work. I was accepted at Texas Reach Out Ministries and began living in their transitional home on October 1, 2018. I began work through MEMCO here in Austin as a contract laborer on a construction site. After several months of observing and learning, I approached a contractor on the site and asked for a job. The contractor initially said no, but after he observed my work ethic, he decided to give me a chance. On October 7, 2019, I began work as an installer for Mas Mechanical in Kilgore, Texas. |
