CURRENT MISSION

Trying to repay the debts of kindness that I've received around the world, and helping others to repay their debts.

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty go with the flow relaxed most of the time. Things are pretty hectic now with the new teaching position, but I should be back in the swing of things soon.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody has a beautiful soul, it just takes the right music to bring it out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My May Day in Germany was spent with 11,000 people crammed into a war-era amphitheatre on top of a mountain. I almost caught a fish in the Sea of Japan. I was in Germany months after the initiation of the Euro. I experienced the live band music scene in Kobe and Osaka.
