ABOUT ME

I've moved a lot in the last 5 years.
Kentucky - Akita - Nagoya - Chicago - Sendai - Osaka

My hometown is in Kentucky. I lived in Japan during university so I speak Japanese and English. Slowly learning Osaka-ben too.

Osaka is a really big place, bigger than I expected, but the city is growing on me.

PHILOSOPHY

Each moment is only once in a lifetime.
