20 Things you Didn't know about Mike Lyons
I was born in England and my family immigrated to the states when I was 4. I grew up on a 100 acre farm in upstate NY - we raised all our own beef, pork, chickens and veggies and heated w/wood. I owned horses and use to ride all the time. I was voted shortest kid to leave my elementary school. I was suspended in 4th grade for saying bullshit to one of my teachers. My nickname at the local ski resort when I was a kid was "hotdog" My first job was selling racing forms at the local horse racing track. I had a crush on my summer camp counselor and 4th grade teacher. My first girlfriend was 16, I was 12. I ran the Boston marathon in 1986. While living in Boston and going to college I played trumpet in a number of Salsa bands. I use to have hair down to my butt. I spend a lot of time on my own. I use to own/run my own business - Mountain Goat Adventures - A climbing and backpacking guide business in New England. I love to work in my garden. I've thought about becoming an interior/exterior decorator. I've worked in restaurants (cleaning, cooking, waiting tables) ever since I was 12. In the last 15 years I've owned 15 different cars. I followed the Grateful Dead around for many years. My parents are my best friends.
