I was born on the east coast of the U.S. in Norwich, Connecticut.

Norwich is about 2 hours north of New York City by car.
It is a quiet New England town.

After a year at college in New England (Massachusetts)
I moved to Brooklyn, New York City where I attended Brooklyn College.

I lived there for 6 years and this time was very exciting for me.

I studied black literature with some amazing African American professors.
»ä¤Ï¥¢¥Õ¥ê¥«¥ó¥¢¥á¥ê¥«¿Í¤Î¹Ö»Õ¤«¤éʸ³Ø¤ò³Ø¤Ó¤Þ¤·¤¿¡£
Usually I was the only white person in my classes of 30 or 40 students!
£³£°¡Á£´£°¿Í¤ÎÀ¸Å̤ÎÃæ¤Ç¡¢»ä¤ÏÍ£°ì¤ÎÇò¿Í¤Ç¤·¤¿¡£
Brooklyn is a fascinating place to live because it is the most
international place in the world.

There are more cultures in Brooklyn, NYC than anywhe else.
¥Ö¥ë¥Ã¥¯¥ê¥ó¤Ë¤Ï¾¤Î¤É¤³¤è¤ê¤â¤¿¤¯¤µ¤ó¤Îʸ²½¤¬¤¢¤ê¤Þ¤¹¡£
In every class there were students from every culture:
Chinese, African, African-American, Russian, Polish,
Jamaican, Puerto Rican, Arab, Jewish, Korean, Japanese---
the list does not end!

It was great because when the professor asked a question
I would hear the opinion of the world!

During my time in Brooklyn I had a band with 3 French members, 2
African-American members and myself.

For a year and a half we played every week in NYC
and we went to Paris and Amsterdam to perform two £ôimes.
It was a really amazing experience.

After 5 or 6 years in NYC, I needed a change so I moved to Nagoya for
almost 2 years.

I always wanted to study another language and live in a foreign country-
especially in Asia, so to Nagoya I went.

After living in Nagoya I moved to Hawaii where I became a high school
English teacher.

Hawaii`s culture is very, very different from mainland
America so it was almost like being in a foreign country again even though
everyone spoke English.

My students were such mix of cultures!
It reminded me of Brooklyn.

In my classes of 30 students there were Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Samoan,
Hawaiian, Maori- the list goes on and on.

I lived on the island of Kauai.¡¡

It is right next to Oahu, but it is much different.

I had a great time there surfing and hiking through the mountains.
I also had a great reggae band there and we recorded an album in a really
ncestudio. We still have a song on the radio!

People ask me recently why I came here.
Well, there are three main reasons:
¤ß¤ó¤Ê¤¬»ä¤Ë¼ÁÌ䤹¤ë¤ó¤Ç¤¹¤¬¡¢¤Ê¤ó¤Ç¤³¤³¤ËÍ褿¤«¤Ã¤Æ¡£
¤¦¡Á¤ó¡¢»°¤Ä¤ÎÍýͳ¤¬¤¢¤ë¤ó¤Ç¤¹¤¬¡¦¡¦¡¦
1) I wanted to work as an English teacher again.
¡¤Þ¤¿¡¢±Ñ¸ì¤Î¶µ»Õ¤¬¤ä¤ê¤¤
2) I wanted to live in the big city again where I can meet many
musicians, producers, club owners and play alot of music.

3)I think Japanese culture is very interesting so I wanted to live in
Japan and study Japanese again.
