Hi all! ![Wave :wave: :wave:](/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wavey.gif)
My name is Cheetah, well ok, that's not my REAL name.... I've got to keep some secrets! I am deaf with one CI, I will get a second early next year.
I am a 42 year old male and recently divorced. I took the divorce really hard and am still recovering from it. I do have a girlfriend now... so, sorry ladies!
I consider myself deaf with Deaf tendencies! I grew up oral and attended an oral deaf school. After High School I went to S. Korea as an exchange student. My first sign language was Korean sign language and then when I returned to the US I started at a community college and learned ASL as part of an interpreter training program. After failing to make the grade as an Interpreter (seem hearing is a requirement) I went to Gallaudet University to study English. I ended up majoring in Computer Science instead.
I now work as an IT professional at a fortune 50 company in the D.C. area and I live between Baltimore and DC in Maryland.
My dreams and aspirations is to own my own vineyard and winery. And yes, I do make my own wine from time to time.
What else would you like to know about me?![Hmm :hmm: :hmm:](/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hmm.gif)
