Born in the fast-pace streets of New York City and raised in the slums of New Jersey, Ali Rob has been a gifted writer since the age of seven; however, he would not be recognized for his talent until his teenage years. Ali Rob would continuously shun the idea of going mainstream until hearing the story of Midget Molley. It was then he decided to go public with the book the streets waited 20-years for, "KING OF THE BOARDWALK: THE MYTH OF MIDGET OF MOLLEY: life & love of a kingpin."
