ABOUT ME:
Hello! My name is Claude. I'm
5' 8", 228 lbs, medium/light
brown hair and hazel eyes. I was born on April
8th 1963. I live in Virginia (USA)."I've always been
a shy kid growing up...secluded from everyone and
living in my own world"...I was raised in France in a strict Catholic
family environment. The youngest of four, I was
destined to be different!
I moved to America in '81 at age of 18 and
became an American citizen in '89. Adopted Mount
Vernon, New York as my first American
hometown. Graduated from Mt.Vernon H.S. with
honors
and was Student of the Year in Languages that same year (83). I went to
Lehman
College, also in New York. I graduated from ECPI , a technical College located in Roanoke,VA and got my Degree in Networking, with a passion for Web Desingn.
I moved to Virginia in '91, lived in Radford for 8 years, then moved to Roanoke . I love the unspoiled and
beautiful nature side of this state, the friendly
people and the quality of life!
HOBBIES/INTERESTS:
Since very young, I knew
that
languages came naturally to me. Not much
effort
was
needed for me to learn them. I am fluent in five languages, including English. The other four are:
French, Portuguese, Spanish
and Italian...being the last, my favorite! I've
always
had a profound passion for electronics: I buy
magazines and watch shows about the latest
gadgets
and eventually acquire some of them! I enjoy
listening
to music (New Age, Rock, Techno and
R&B), movies (Suspense/Mysteries, Action/Adventure, Comedies and Drama), swimming, surfing the Net (meeting
people on IRC chat), reading (I'm also an avid
reader-
Stephen King rules!). Even though these are just
some
of my favorite
activities, I am very eclectic!
Ever since I own my PC...my
focus
is on the Internet. I'm amazed how such a vast
Universe can be converged into a global village
through this World Wide Web!
