Over 10 years ago there was a miss understanding between my loving wife and myself that lead to an arrest. I(we) planned on fighting this charge to the fullest, I even sat in jail to avoid more expenses while my wife supported our family. My wife has showed her support and love by writing an affidavit trying to get this charge dismissed and dropped but the state chose to still pick up the charge. During this process we lost our house, I lost my great job and much more but it wasn't until my wife got arrested herself for a very old unrelated issue that made me speak to lawyer and asked them to do whatever he could to get me released to take care of our son. That lead to me pled no contest to the charges of family violence in which I did not get the option of re-adjudication being my 1st and only ever offense. Since then I completed multiple self improvement, healthy relationship and family classes. I completed my mandatory probation and since then I have had NO issues/violations and have tried to be the best husband, father, employee, employer, role model and upstanding citizen I can can be.

I am asking for this pardon(s) for multiple reasons:

1st: The betterment of my family life

2nd: I want to reenlist and serve my country and my family in the U.S military 

3rd: My current career I am unable to accept jobs because of my history such as getting on military bases, private community jobs, schools and many more.

I strongly believe with your support and signature along with your knowledge of my good character not only as a friend or family member but through all facets of life, that this pardon(s) are a fair and just request for change and a true 2nd chance in life.
