In his youth, Webb was ranked second in the nation for BMX racing.

He is a ninth-generation Floridian. If you look in Florida’s archives, you’ll find Webb's ancestors in multiple public service roles.

His kids think it's hilarious to call him "DeeDah" when you ask them to say "Daddy" (it's pretty darn funny, but don't tell 'em we said so!).
