: About Me

My name is Kevin. I was born in in Virginia in 1975. I graduated from Menchville High School in 1994. I've also attended classes at the local Vocational Technical College in Shreveport/Bossier La. Some of the classes that I have taken and passed are Bartending, Basic Electronics, Netplus and a list of different computer courses including Word Perfect and Visual Basic. I am also an advent reader. I enjoy "how to..." books and "biographies" most of all, but am not against reading novels. Some of the books I've read that made the most impression on me are "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "The Art of Peace" by the founder of Akido,"Beyond Good and Evil" by Nietzsche and "Up From Slavery" by Booker T. Washington.
