==Who am I?==

'''Adam Stanhope''' is 43, married with one child and lives in [[Kingston, Massachusetts]], USA.  I enjoy traveling, [[science fiction]], digital photography, music, movies, [[flowers]], [[geography]] and the internet.  I like antique homes, the New England Coast, [[Southeast Asia]], Paris, London and my family.  I am an entrepreneur with professional history, interest and expertise in software, internet, [[guerrilla marketing]], [[psychedelia]], [[Traditional Chinese Medicine|herbal & Traditional Chinese Medicine]] and international trade.

I attended the [[University of California, Berkeley]] in the late 1980s and early 1990s.  I lived in Berkeley's infamous [[Barrington Hall]] for its last year as a [[University Students Cooperative Association|USCA]] coop.  While at Berkeley I was an undeclared Asian Studies major for which I focused my studies on [[Mandarin Chinese]], [[Thai]], [[geography]], economics and [[development studies|third world development]].

I really love [[Facebook]] and if you'd like to get in touch with me, adding me as a friend there is a good start.  [http://www.facebook.com/astanhope Here's a link to my Facebook profile].
