When they hit my house, I had 27 motorcycles, 10 cars.

I had a full-on chop shop going on in the garage.

When I'm sitting there on the cell phone inside the prison system, and I got people driving up, and I got them on the cell phone, and I'm directing them at every step they need to do, there is no better rush.

Horrible.

Horrible, right?

That's all I knew in my life, though.

Parents were married until I was five.

My dad was an alcoholic.

My mom was a drug addict.

And it seems like that maybe those two don't mix as a couple.

My sister and I stayed with my mom and my mom continued to do drugs.

And so like having a drug addict as a mother or an addict household, it was just like I go to school and I show up at home one day and there'd be another guy, there'd be a guy on the couch.

And that would be my mom's new boyfriend that she probably met at the bar.

They'd be fist fighting and drinking.

I remember me and my sister being in the back of the pickup truck.

They'd be fighting in the cab up in the front, throwing punches, throwing blows.

And your kids in the back of the truck screaming, thinking they're going to crash into a tree or something.

And I was one of those kids and all this stuff happening at the home.

And then I would just go to school and have to act normal and just have to blend in with all the rest of these kids.

Where's your dad?
