Graduated 1971. Spent the summer of 1969 in the US and decided to move to the US at the earliest possible opportunity. Became a permanent resident in the '70s, lived in New Jersey and Texas before moving to California in the 1990s. Spent most of my working life as a chef, in restaurants, private clubs and catering, retiring in 2014. I now spend my time selling CDs and DVDs online, and flyfishing.view less
