Personal Life
Ellison lived in Kendal throughout his childhood, moving to various places while pursuing his dream to become a professional racer. After leaving school he studied to be a motorcycle and motor vehicle mechanic, gaining all qualifications with distinction.
In 1998 he finally settled down in the Midlands and he lived in Leicester until 2009 with his wife Susie, whom he married on December 28th 2008. He is the older brother of James Ellison and Dean is certainly James's biggest fan, working behind the scenes to find new sponsors.
Dean is still very active within the motorcycle world, dealing with all Marketing and PR activities for J&L Motorcycles in Carlisle, He plays regular football, runs daily and still attends motorcycle track days, supermoto events and has openly admitted his desire to race soon.
Always well respected for his fund raising efforts, Dean still takes time out to do his bit for charity. In 2011 he teamed up with Dave Winter and filmmaker Ben Barden to travel over 1000 miles in one go, raising money for his 2 favourite charities, Riders and CJ Riders Fund.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Take two kids in competition for their parents’ love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other; the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other; the personal frustrations that they don’t dare let out on anyone else but a brother or sister, and it’s not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“Why is light given to one in misery, and life to the bitter in soul, who long for death, but it does not come, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures; who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they find the grave?”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 3:20-22.
