    My Story

    From San Diego to Tokyo

    Born and raised in San Diego, CA, my entire career has been focused on business in Japan. After founding and exiting an international trading company with offices in LA, Tokyo, and London I settled in Tokyo and discovered the wonderful world of recruiting in 2001. Having worked with a coach in the 90's, I became CCF certified in 2007 and added coaching to my practice to further enable me to achieve my life's mission--to help people find work they LOVE.
