Pete "Big Pete" James

As a young boy from a small Wisconsin town, "Big Pete" James had one goal for his future. He wanted to be a boss. Unsure of what that meant exactly, he went on to complete high school, enroll in college, join a fraternity, and graduate from college. 

James took his entrepreneurial drive and love of riding bikes to the streets. He eventually joined the Outlaws, a Chicago motorcycle club formed in 1935. The club now has chapters and members all over the world. 

With smarts and grit, James rose through the ranks of the club. He became the president of the North Side Crew. As president, he oversaw multiple chapters and members within the Chicagoland area.

He was the boss of Chicago.
