KT says that he is rich in his heart, not in money or possessions. He devotes himself to helping , finding pleasure in looking out for others, as some adults tried to do for him, even willing to give their life, when he was a young man. His faith in god drives him to want to protect others. Now, after 15 years incarcerated, he lives in an RV in the Wood St. area of Oakland. He feels lucky to still be around in spite of foolish and risky behavior as a young man. Some guys look and act hard, he says, but KT is not a hard guy, “That is not who I am. Getting older I now understand how short life will be,” which he relates to losing his parents in recent years.
