Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. Currently living in Tokyo, Japan, working in renewable energy / sustainable infrastructure.

Into skiing, surfing, hiking, diving, anything active. Also heavily into music (gigged at weddings, jazz clubs, etc. during high school and university). Favorite genres are jazz/funk, reggae, neo-soul, and rap, but am increasingly interested in folk music.

Always down to try new foods, especially if it’s spicy.
