Answer Hi Judy,
I've never heard the name in anything related to Elvis Presley, much less, the Memphis Mafia members.
For him to have been around Elvis as long as he claims, there would be some reference to him. Anyone can make a claim and I think that is exactly what this is, just a claim. If you further interested, tell him to show you proof that he had anything to do with Elvis.
