I didn't see any violence growing up.

No, not, I mean, that one incident I did and then what happened, but I didn't grow up in that kind of family where my dad was so passive, so passive.

My mom ran the household, you know, and there was no violence in the household at that at all.

My dad and mom never were yelling at each other.

They never were screaming at us.

We just had a very, you know, close loving family.

So then when I got to see that and I was, you know, get to be part of that and,

rolling in with a crew of dudes and, you know, beating up this other club and stuff.

I just, it just wrapped me into it and I seen it and I liked it.

And, uh, I always say I got bit by that violence and, and, you know, the running around with the patch on and the womenizing and stuff like that.

So, and then right as I was, uh, right before I was turning 21, um, I became a member.

They made me a member.

I think I prospected for just a little under a year.

Be available.

Be on call with them guys that are calling you up.

Hey, we'll see you.

We're having our meeting next Thursday.

We'll be down here at 7.30, 7 o'clock.

Be down here.

you know, being seen, getting to know the members through the week, guys would call me up and say, hey, we're going out tonight.
