I was a kick-ass off-track mountain biker in the Rockies.

I'm still alive despite my unhealthy eating habits, overall sedentary lifestyle, & being on various meds long term :wtg: I'm beginning to think certain things are not as bad as some experts claim they are.

Earned an MSEE degree without knowing that I was on the ASD spectrum.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you do not know that you are supposed to fail.

Athletics aren't really a strong suit. I love to run but I'm not fast and being fast isn't what I love about running. I have some medals from running which people seem to find impressive but they're just participation medals, I didn't win anything. The highest i ever placed was 12th out of a field of 80. That was over 10 miles.

I had my picture in the local paper when I was about 10 for winning a show jumping event at a local horse show!
