Johnny was born in Sainte Marie de le Mer and spent his entire childhood with his gypsy group traveling between the Paris region and the south of France. Through his meetings, he was able to gain solid experience in the resale and transformation of metals forgotten on construction sites, as well as the resale of packages that fell from the truck. With his cousins they regularly trained for triathlons, in the morning they went to the swimming pool on foot and in the evening they returned by bike.
As a teenager he specialized in selling second-hand German car spare parts forgotten in parking lots.

One evening on her 39th birthday, a woman ran out of gas near her caravan group, she was screaming at her car which refused to start. One of these cousins (cousin Renard) tried to borrow his car radio for a more or less long term. Instead he took a series of potatoes and finished KO in two seconds. This altercation brought all the cousins and Johnny, who had observed the scene from afar. Rather than defending one of them who had just gotten his nose blown and started laughing and teasing cousin Renard. This woman is none other than Marianne. Johnny and his gang invited him to dinner with them and they offered him fresh gasoline for his car.

After that day, Johnny and Marianne saw each other regularly. The months passed and Johnny decided to move on and settle down with Marianne. They lived peacefully until that strike day.
