CURRENT MISSION

to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the katana

ABOUT ME

Born to inter-racial parents in Tokushima, Japan and raised in Southern California. Curious, analytical, and risk-seeking. Strong Myers Briggs ENTP. Love most things "out of the ordinary."

Enjoys travels, adventures, the outdoors, and physical challenges. Motivated to innovate and contribute unique solutions to attain success. Sees money as means to an end.

New-found desire to engage my right brain through art, music, and dance. Believes balance is crucial to keep oneself physically fit, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Considers the phrase, "You're crazy!" a great compliment.

PHILOSOPHY

If they say "it can't be done," it makes me want to DO it!

Good things are for sharing.

Impossible is nothing.
