I'm always looking for a new challenge. At the office or at home, in work or in play. At the office I manage the Educational Department of an English program with 28 locations throughout Tokyo. At home I make websites, localize/translate films and run a record label. I'm self-driven and able to work under pressure, across functions and divisions, with people and technology.

HR, training, content management, curriculum development, website design & implementation, marketing, multimedia production, budgeting...and more.
I work on projects localizing films to include Japanese / English subtitles. I tend to focus on independent films, including documentaries on music / art icons. Some are award winning. See here for examples.
I help small businesses and organization get online by designing and implementing websites for them. I'm all about making simple sites that are easy to maintain for developers and non-developers alike. See here for some examples.
I own and operate a cassette tape label called Union Pole. Started in 1993, I eventually brought the entire catalog of 76 cassettes and 7 vinyl releases online with the premise that the entire 4GB catalog of music could be downloaded for $1.
