I've got my iPod and I've got it on shuffle. If I'm not ready for one, I'll click to the next one. My wife, Lori, and our children, Adam, Nate, Chris, and Luke, will all tell you that when I find one I like it can stay on repeat for weeks on end.

I grew up in an non-athletic family, where my parents were interested in music, in literature, in education and art.

That's what I tried to share in this book, Back From The Dead, the ability to learn, to dream, to hope. In a world that is far too often selling fear and death, I'm selling hope and life and success and that's why I chose to be part of the Grateful Dead.

My bike is my gym, my wheelchair, and my church all in one.

The passions I have in my life are my family, music, books, I'm an avid plant collector, and I love to ride my bike.
