I was born and raised in south Florida. I was fortunate to have been raised in a multicultural environment, which has remained an asset that I continue to draw upon in this increasingly globalized world.I came to Japan to continue my Japanese language studies after college, which led me to teach English at a public high school. Now I spend my days behind a terminal potentially developing your next idea.Hobbies:Any team sport but especially basketball, board games, collectible card games, karaoke, video games, trying local specialties, and hiking.
