After leaving the club, he became an author, speaker, and commentator, sharing insights on leadership, loyalty, the justice system, and personal accountability. His memoir, Exile on Front Street: My Life as a Hells Angel—and Beyond, chronicles his experiences inside the Hells Angels and his life after leaving the outlaw world.
