The mob

My neighborhood had its share of Mafia and wanna be Mafia characters. As a young adult, I fell in with some of these people and ended up on the ride of my life. I was unwittingly a getaway driver at the age 18 in New York City. I got married to the mob, naively, but finally clawed my way out. The experience of that time in my life has been chronicled in my autobiography, The Company She Keeps". (www.thecompanyshekeeps.com) Though I am not particularly proud of that time in my life it proved to be helpful in my eventual career as a stunt driver in Hollywood. I went from a getaway driver for the Mob to Stunt Driver for the stars. I survived in the toughest of tough world of men, from the mob to show business. It's a toss-up as to which one of those worlds is the more brutal.
