1. Big Al Aceves. Co-founder of “MONGOL NATION”. Director, Rivers Edge Men’s Ranch.
 Big Al grew up with a caring mother and had no contact with his father. As a child he lived in a physically violent and abusive family environment with his grandfather being the main violent abuser. Upon reaching adolescence, Big Al joined an ELA gang and along with his violent nature he began using heroin. His violent mentality led him to enlist for three tours of duty in Vietnam. While there, in hand to hand combat, he killed with his bare hands and earned a reputation that many grew to fear and respect. Was shot 3 times in combat and eventually came back to the states. Big Al continued with his drug use and horribly violent ways. In the early 1970's Big Al started MONGOL NATION. Come and listen as he gives insight to the making of a notorious gang member.
