As a young kid, I always seem to work in the restaurant business. I used to work in a steak restaurant that was owned by low – level mafia guys who ended up losing it in a card game. They lost it to some other bookies that were a little higher up in the pecking order. One of these guys was supposedly a hit man. His name was Ralph Stano. He was well known, but he was nice to us.

The motorcycle crowd hung out at this restaurant, and I got involved with them. That’s where my drug history started. I got turned on to amphetamines when I was fourteen years old, and loved every minute of it.
