10) What is something that these readers may not know about you?

My personal side, only those closest to me see that. Most think my background is Dirt Track but only from a major back injury in a supercross in 1983, I would have pursued a motocross career, I loved it. At 40 I can still run a 40minute 10k, easy and train on motocross as much as I can.
