John Alite

As a boy, John Alite was born into a life of organized crime; as a man, he realized there was a better way to live his life, and he strives to move forward from his regretful past. When he shares his story to his audiences, he hopes to show people how they can take control of their futures and choose to be the best version of themselves. A born and bred New Yorker, John gives back to his community by sharing his story about his past life as a top hitman for John Gotti and the Gambino Crime Family to thousands of high school and college students all over the world each year. He tells the real-life pitfalls of where that life leads, which is far different than what the media portrays. He speaks up about how he has changed his life after doing numerous prison stints for his involvement in the mafia and has now dedicated his life to talking to kids and young adults about avoiding the dangers of living a life of crime.
