About

I was born in Seattle Washington in the United States and have lived in Japan since 2007. I started my journey abroad in education. After a few years working for someone else, I started my own business and managed it for 6.5 years.

As all ex-pats know, time invested in one country does not always equal returns back home. So, I decided to sell my school and transition into software development and technical support. I find the intersection of the requisite hard, technical skills and soft people skills to be an excellent fit for my personality and background.

I've always loved learning and helping people and this industry has no shortage of opportunities to do both. It also allows me to remain an ex-patriot of the United States, a country I still love dearly, while staying connected to my culture, my language and the wider world.
