CURRENT MISSION

Get away...

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going. Enjoy chatting over a drink or two... or three. I may be shy and quiet at first, but I can (pleasantly) surprise you in many ways once you get to know me.

Grew up in Japan but spent most of my adult life studying and working in the U.S. I long for Japan and Asia but my career keeps me in the states.

So I travel...

PHILOSOPHY

Opportunity comes only to those who are ready to take advantage of it.

I was fortunate to have met many people/mentors who helped me get to where I am today. I always thought that I have been extremely lucky, but I am starting to realize that I need to give myself some credit as well--an opportunity does not become an opportunity unless one recognize it as such and turn it into one.

Will I meet someone who'd influence how I'd live the rest of my life via CS???
