Hey there to whoever is reading this. My name is Braeden Kalkwarf, and I am currently incarcerated at FCI Florence in Colorado. I’m 27 years old, turning 28 this year, and I should be getting out sometime this year—so not too much longer. I’m hoping to meet someone to write with, get to know, and possibly build a meaningful connection with, whether that’s through letters, visits, or wherever things may lead.
A little about me: I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. I grew up in a loving family and around animals most of my life, so it’s no surprise that I love them. At 17, I enlisted in the U.S. Army and began my six-year commitment at 18—three years on active duty at Fort Carson and three years in the National Guard in various states. Life took an unexpected turn, and somehow I ended up here. I guess that’s how things go sometimes.
I received an honorable discharge in 2023 and began pursuing an education in computer science and cybersecurity. That path led me into a tech career shortly before my arrest, and I fully plan on returning to that field once I’m released.
I have a lot of interests and passions that I’m excited to get back to. I’m an adventurer at heart and love anything outdoors—camping, hiking, fishing, road trips, you name it. I also enjoy cooking, reading any good book I can get my hands on, and spending quality time with friends and family. And of course, my four-legged buddy Goose is a huge part of my life (he may or may not be looking for a step-mom too).
I’m really looking forward to meeting someone I can write back and forth with and get to know over time. Companionship is important to me, but I also value taking things slow and doing them the right way. After this sentence is behind me, I plan to stay in Colorado for a bit, but I’m open to relocating—or even traveling abroad—when the time is right. Seeing more of the world is a big goal of mine, and I intend to make the most of life moving forward.
My younger brother will be helping manage this account and staying active on my behalf, so don’t hesitate to reach out. Be bold, don’t be shy, and let’s get to know each other. I truly look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Braeden
