The Winding Road That Led Me Here

Convict2Career exists for a powerful reason. It's more than just a resume builder—it's a tool I created to help people with a record get a real second chance. I know what it's like, because I've been through it. Over a decade ago, I made a mistake that led to prison. But during that time, I made a promise to myself: when I got out, I'd do something meaningful—not just for me, but for others walking the same path.

Convict2Career is the result of that promise. I built this platform to make it easier for people like us to show the world what we're actually capable of. Whether you earned a certificate, took classes, or worked inside—that counts. That's real experience, and it belongs on a resume.
