About Me

CURRENT MISSION

pursue life being purposeful and loving

ABOUT ME

acquired a job for a baseball team in Hiroshima, Japan, worked there for 6 years, worked for a Golf Magazine, interpreter freelance and now for a real estate agency helping foreigners in Japan find housing. I am experiencing Japan as much as I can while I am here. I hope to travel frequently while working in Japan.

PHILOSOPHY

i live to serve. I have been given way more than i deserve. I give that credit to God and want to glorify him. I'm figuring out life one day at a time.

I also want to be very passionate about adventure and exploring the world. I love meeting all types of different people and finding common ground.
