CURRENT MISSION

Studying Japanese History/Seeing the World

ABOUT ME

I am a student of Japanese History. I study martial arts, and am an apprentice instructor in Toronto. I study Jeet Kune Do Concepts and Philosophies, under Makoto Kabayama. It's a mix of many arts. I used to play a lot of music, mostly metal and hardcore. I still do when I'm home. I love soccer, and catch as many games as I can when I'm in Asia. Favorite team is Toronto FC of the MLS; Tokyo FC of the J League; and Bari FC of Serie A. I am not a smoker, and I don't drink but I have absolutely no problem with it if you do. All my friends smoke and drink so it's cool.

PHILOSOPHY

Take life day by day. It's easier that way.
