Executive Summary

I produce copywriting that sells products and services and promotes Japan as a great marketplace and place to live. I’ve covered over 30 industry sectors in Japan since 1992 including education, entertainment, hotels, human resources, ITC, logistics, luxury goods, pharmaceuticals, restaurants, and travel. My work appears in the European Business Council in Japan’s EURObiZ Japan magazine, and a 400-page handbook on living in Japan distributed to foreign residents in print and online. I produce monthly travel and shopping columns for a respected magazine found in Tokyo’s finest hotels*. Earlier in my career, I was an international school teacher and senior advisor, and performed as a professional singer as a young boy, going on a six-month, 180-concert world tour through Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Japan. I’m loving life and enjoying my work.
