Joe Lopez grew up in Little Italy - Taylor Street - that's where he got his nickname. He was a major body builder at one point - and is tight with guys from the neighborhood like Jimmy I. I believe one of his first clients was none other than Anthony Chiarmonte.

He was/is living down there in one of the new subdivisions - near Maxwell & Halstead (On Emerald I think). I would assume Joe is half Italian. He is big into real estate.
