I was born in Osaka, Japan to an American father and a Japanese mother. My family moved to the US when I was eight years old. I lived in Brazil for 2 years and went back to do a summer research internship in 2016. I have a B.S. in Psychology and currently work with children with autism and feeding disorders. I live with my wife Kelsey who is a PhD student at Emory University.
