The Last Mile was a game changer for me in terms of my incarceration and rehabilitation. My greatest fear while I was inside was what would life be like for me once released. Would anyone be willing to give me a chance? I had been in prison for 14 years with zero access to computers and technology before The Last Mile founded the Code.7370 web development program at San Quentin.

I received two and half years of training before being paroled in 2017 which allowed me to apply what I had learned in pursuit of my dreams of becoming a coder. I went on to work for The Last Mile in development of their learning management system which is now being rolled out to men's, women's and juvenile facilities across the country. It's very rewarding to be able to give back to the mission that has given me so much.

For the past three years, I've worked as a software engineer for Fandom where I continue to build on the training I received through The Last Mile and continue to push forward developing a successful life post incarceration. I found that with hard work, determination, belief in the process and The Last Mile, that there is opportunity after prison and that my best is yet to come.
