Canton, Ohio

The town most known today as the home of the Football Hall of Fame, was in my youth a tough, steel mill community with open gambling and prostitution. A perfect training ground for my growing up.

From Irish DNA, and a family of policeman and fireman, my future was destined. At one point it was to end in my going to jail, or move to Arizona and join the police department.

The police department was just the beginning of my training, but set the stage for what was to come.
