With two decades of experience as an American in Japan, I bring a unique cultural fusion to my services. Originally from New York and Florida, I am now based in scenic western Shizuoka. My expertise spans industries, including English teaching, translation, proofreading, video production and homestays. I have worked with renowned companies such as Yamaha Motor, Suzuki Motor, NISSAN Motor, Roland Music, and more. I also founded an American BBQ restaurant, where I handled all aspects of design, construction, menu creation, and marketing. From food to fun, from seniors to youth, I am passionate about bridging cultures and sharing my knowledge and experience to help enrich the lives of others.
