Who is Brian Heder?

Brian still moves product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori. He's been around long enough to let other people do his dirty work.

He lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties, on two conditions: help with local shakedowns, and stop by for Lori's sangria once in a while. Rockstar's line on him: looks like a Leonida beach bum, moves like a great white shark.

In their own words

“Nothing better than a Mudslide at sunset.”
