I drive a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and fully support hydrogen as a fuel for cars, trucks and transportation.My love of photography going back to childhood, starting with my Pentax K1000 purchased with my paper route money in 7th grade started me on a lifelong pursuit of a career in the arts, whether taking pictures, visual effects, or working as a producer and assistant director.I spent years in Japan, first as a student, later working for a Toyota-affiliated Japanese manufacturing company. Living in Tokyo for more than 5 years, I speak, read and write Japanese, skills which I still use to this day.
