Bio
“My name is Keith Ruch. I'm a 53 year old white male but I come from a very diverse family with people from all over the world. I've live in fifteen states but I've been incarcerated for 28 years.
I'm a creative person that has tried many things over the years, anything from ceramics and woodworking, to crocheting and beadwork. I like to draw in pen and ink but in the past year I started to pain. Being creative is a huge part of my life and I find it lifts the spirit up. Whether its just creative writing drawing painting or crocheting something for people I like to keep busy. Nothing makes me happy then to make something for people who cares.
Blessed Be
Rev. Keith."
