CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My Dad is a retired Computer Company Exec, my daughter is a 16 year old future computer game designer, my father speaks Japanese fluently, I own a restaurant in NY and have a home in Sarasota FL as well as a place in NY that I share with my father just outside NYC. I love hosting people in my home and being supportive of people in their travel pursuits. I work a lot but between my father and myself we manage to help out people. We are really into travel and meeting people.

PHILOSOPHY

Calm down, take a breath, let things go and move on. Materialism is just wrong.
