Through his mother, Antunes is a descendant of Flemish-Portuguese nobleman and explorer Willem van der Haegen, Frankish Chilperic I, King of Soissons, French nobleman Jean de Bettencourt,〔(Descendants of Jean de Bettencourt - Generation 26 )〕 and Portuguese King Afonso Henriques, alongside a plethora of other royals and nobles. Antunes spent most of the early years of his life at the Lajes Air Force Base, on Terceira Island, where his parents and much of his family worked for and in the Portuguese Air Force.〔 In 1967, Antunes's father moved to the private sector, working for SATA Air Açores. With Antunes's father's new occupation the family moved to Ponta Delgada, on São Miguel Island. Antunes and his family stayed on the island until 1975, when the events following the liberal Carnation Revolution, along with other factors, motivated them to emigrate to Rhode Island in the United States.〔(Expresso - Ter um Lóbi é o Segredo )〕 While in Rhode Island, Antunes became an all-star high school soccer player for Shea High School. During his high school years, Antunes worked at many companies such as Hasbro, Schoolhouse Candy, and American Insulated Wire. Antunes lived in Rhode Island until 1984, when his family moved to San Jose, California, because Antunes' father was offered a position at Lockheed Martin, where he would later work on the Hubble Space Telescope project.〔(Diário Insular - Hélder Antunes e Armando Perreira: Saltar para o Mercado Mundial )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helder Antunes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
