Chance

Odessa Texas is home but born and raised and Okie. 

I work as an equipment operator in the oilfield and have been for the last 5 years, before this I was a LPN (nurse) I grew up in a small farm town in western Oklahoma called Corn, worked as a farm hand in the summers till I graduated school.

My goal in life is give back to a community that’s given so much. I’ve learned a lot in the last few months about my self and the LBGT community and want to help the younger generation grow and see that there is so much in life. I was blessed to have a family who accepted me but I hear the horror stories and realize not everyone is so lucky and I want those kids to know there is someone out there who cares and who will love them and guide them in life and show them people do truly care, and I believe that is Cindy Laupers goal for her true colors foundation.

I’m also HIV+ and so helping younger generations who are also hiv+ is a huge goal and bringing hiv awareness to others is something that’s very important too me.
