Growing up between Southern California and Tokyo, I have had a unique experience of being a self starter, excellent communicator, and a never ending determination to get the job done. As a kid I balanced life between being in school as well as snowboarding and eventually becoming a professional snowboarder by the time I was 16. This soon lead to traveling the world, competing, being filmed and photographed for international video projects as well as magazines till I was 28. Through my time as a professional athlete I learned a lot about the world and people from all paths of life. In 2017 a longtime friend and I created Nomadik ( @we_are_nomadik ), a Japanese lifestyle brand that encompassed our vision of what art, clothes, and outerwear should be. We are currently in 200 stores in Japan and I still remain as a co-founder. While selling Real Estate in Los Angeles, building Nomadik and being the Team Manager for Sims Snowboards I am confident to say I have found my talent in connecting people and achieving goals with my team.
