ABOUT ME

I am a very easy going guy. I love traveling and seeing new things around the world. I hope to travel a lot more in the future. I got into traveling after finishing my undergraduate degree and ever since I took my first big international trip I haven't been able to get enough. I have moved around the US a lot so I have seen a lot of areas of the country and I don't really have a city to call home. I did my masters degree in business (MBA) in Boston and work in corporate finance. I am a very motivated person and want to learn as much as possible. I recently moved to Silicon Valley from Tokyo Japan for work.
