Outside of acting as President of alternative energy firm Maryland Green BioFuel, Anthony Jean-Claude pursues a number of hobbies that nurture his cultural understanding, intellectual capacity, and physical health.
An avid traveler and wine connoisseur, Mr. Jean-Claude particularly enjoys trips to Napa County, California. There, he explores viticulture in a number of ways. He visits a series of wineries, and participates in educational tours of their facilities, where he samples different varietals. By learning about the care that goes into the raising of grapes, he further cultivates his appreciation for the wine industry.
Mr. Jean-Claude enjoys testing his mental acuity through regular games of chess. The two-player game tests participants’ abilities in strategic thinking as they navigate 64 shared squares and 16 pieces of their own. Because the rook, knight, king, and queen pieces must cross the board according to different rules, the game proves immensely complex. Mr. Jean-Claude often reads texts on chess methodology to develop his skills and to hone his cognitive acuity.
