So yeah, I'd seen that.
And that's, I think where I adopted that when I got into the concrete, I was a very hard worker.
I was doing side jobs with my boss, Merrill, after working all day and, you know, extra money doing side jobs.
I was just a hustler with that.
I think what drew me to the club is when I seen that, I seen these guys now it's, you know, 1989, I'm 20.
And I seen the brotherhood, the camaraderie, the riding the motorcycles, going to parties, walking in the bars, you know, seeing how people react.
But I seen that tight brotherhood that these guys had, that this henchman club had with each other.
And I enjoyed that.
And they took me in and I was, you know, I was like their little brother, you know, and they showed me the ways.
And I don't mean just the violent ways.
I mean the ways of life.
You know, you're your brother's keeper.
You know, your brother's important to you, you know?
Um, you, you know, you're, you got your brothers back all the time, right?
I mean, I just, uh, they showed me that side of life that I didn't see growing up, you know, even though the family was family, but now I got to see it with a bunch of guys that really loved one another and hung tight with one another, no matter what happened.
One of the guys got, you know, one of the guys got jumped by that, by that DC Eagle Club and the next night they were out returning the favor.
So I got to watch that, you know, as the prospect and see it and then to be part of it.
And, you know, I was big and strong and they loved having me around because I wanted to run in and do all that first.
I just seen it and got addicted to that.
It was a side of life I didn't know.
