“I thoroughly enjoy bringing physical education and recreation activities to the incarcerated people of this facility,” he said. “I want the yard and the areas when I’m over here to be active. I’m trying to bring energy to the facility.”
One of his goals is to help the incarcerated make better choices which will ultimately help them when they transition back into their communities.
“Physical exercise is absolutely the best medicine known to mankind, and I try to instill that in them,” he explained. “I hope I’m bringing healthier lifestyles to everybody I come in contact with here at CHCF.”
