Description
The California Kid: From USC Golden Boy to International Drug Kingpin
By Owen Hanson & Alex Cody Foster
The California Kid is the jaw-dropping true story of Owen Hanson — a Redondo Beach native and former USC athlete who traded football fame for fast money and fell into the high-stakes world of organized crime.
Told in Hanson’s own words, this electrifying memoir chronicles his meteoric rise from student athlete to mastermind of a multi-million-dollar drug trafficking empire that spanned continents. At the height of his power, Hanson was laundering money through offshore accounts, rubbing shoulders with cartel players, and living a lifestyle straight out of Hollywood — until it all came crashing down.
Now serving a 21-year federal sentence, Hanson opens up about addiction, greed, betrayal, and the dark side of ambition. With brutal honesty and cinematic flair, The California Kid reads like a thriller — but every word is true.
