John Mimikos:  

Life Growing up in Teaneck was a blast. At times is was pretty hard due to the fact that I had a step- father that was very abusive, Because of that I think I got into drugs. Drugs were a very large part of my life, kind of an identity. Pot was EVERYWHERE!!! After school I had my first child....imagine that, MIMIKOS having a kid!!! Well I turned out to be a damn good father....one that listens to their kids and dont hit them. In 1990 I had a Daughter, her name is Jo-Anna, BTW, my sons name is Damien, anyway when she was born I decided to stop getting high for the first time since I was 12yrs old. No more pot, no more cocaine (which had become huge) NOTHING!!! I was clean and sober for the first time and I got to know a person I never knew before. As it turns out I aint a tough guy, I dont like violence, I cant stand when people hit their kids. I of all people turned out to be quite the family man, my son and daughter mean the world to me. My Son just made me a Grand-Father !!! I have two of the greatest kids in the world, they dont get high, drink or do anything bad. I moved to central PA...Expand for more
