Finding Max

While reading through Sam Bailey last week I was trying to find out who Max, my character, was. He's a cabbie in Boston. Blue collar. Family man. (Devoted husband and father). Tenny and I talked later and I had questions about Max; his speech patterns, how I see his backstory, that kind of thing. Long story short, Tenny told me, "Max is you. It's that simple". And it really was. So now my eyes are open and I only have to figure out one thing to nail Max's character... Who the hell am I?
