- Can say the alphabet backwards, faster than he can forwards. He learned to do this when he was about 10 years old, because a drunk homeless man at a parade in Phoenix told him and his friends it was something they better learn to do so that they don't end up like him.
- Loves Disneyland. Nowhere on earth feels more like home to him, than when he turns left off of Main Street and is heading under the Adventureland sign on his way to Pirates of the Caribbean.
- His Grandfather was the preacher who married Roy Rogers to Dale Evans. Reverend Bill can be seen on the Roy Rogers episode of "This is Your Life" available on DVD and on Netflix.
- Was a Park Ranger in Kentucky, and is the only fifth generation cave guide in the history of Mammoth Cave National Park. His father Vernon, his grandfather Martie, Great Grandfather Joseph and Great-Great Grandfather Dabny all took visitors through the cave, even before it became a National Park.
- Is the only Board Certified Extremity Physician in the entire state of Arizona. A separate specialty degree called the CCEP he acquired after graduate school.
- Everybody has their own path. Everybody has their own dreams. We've all got our own ABCD in life. If we're all going to start at an A, and we don't give up until we get to D, who cares what B and C look like? Make your own way, maybe even go ACBD, who cares, just get from A to D however you can and don't lose sight of your ultimate goal.
