He was born in Paget and raised in Smith's Parish Bermuda, Then at the age of ten he relocated to Columbia South Carolina. He traveled up and down the east coast, he hung-out with a crew much older the he was and pulled there coat tails on living that life. Fast forward about fourteen years later. Paulie is the name that was used in the hood. His real name is Stefano Harford and he was a goon little momma. This is his story, told without bitterness and with no pretense at moralizing-the smells, the sounds, the fear, the petty triumphs in the world of being that dude. No one comes close or anywhere near him in the description of the raw, brutal reality of the jungle that lurks beneath the surface of every city. Nobody but a goon could tell this story, and none ever has...until Paulie. He spent twenty-four years of his life in Hell. While other guys died in prison, or in the hospital, or were shot down in the streets. But Paulie escaped death, the drug game, and gang activity to live in this square world and began a brand new out look in life.
