Born and raised in Orange County, New York, which (4 out of 5 shamans agree) can kick your county's ass. Besides being OCNY and proud, I am Italian and proud (and I cook the food, speak the language, and drink the wine to prove it). I have been living and working in Germany for the past 2.5 years, which is (usually) a lot of fun, especially when I get the chance to travel elsewhere in Europe... - Chris

I still say that I'm a contradiction in terms. I love the outdoors, small towns, and being in in the middle of the woods. All that rustic back woods country stuff is what I'm all about. However, at the same time I'm a self-proclaimed geek... I love computers and all the latest technological breakthroughs. I'm a really simple guy - there's not much to me. I'm not a damn pretty boy. I don't wear Abercrombie. I don't drive a queer little Civic. - Ben Ashley
