About Me

1. Where were you born?
Mississippi, USA

2. Where did you grow up?
Florida, USA

3. When did you come to Japan?
In 1990, at the age of 20.

4. Where do you live now?
In Tokyo, Japan.
With my Japanese wife and our three grown “kids” (hence this site’s name: “Tokyo Five”…((update 2019 Nov): It’s “Tokyo Six” or “Tokyo Seven” now!))

5. Did you experience culture shock when you came to Japan?
When I first came to Japan, many aspects of Japan’s culture surprised me. But I’m quite comfortable in Japan now.
I don’t have opportunity to visit America very often…so the last time I was there I experienced culture shock in America.
