I am a native Chicagoan, born and raised!

I am half Japanese, half Irish-American.

I have a passion for everything tech-related, from software development to AI to everything Apple.

I grew up playing classical music on the violin, and I especially appreciate works from the Baroque and Romantic eras. I also listen to Smooth Jazz, New Age, and other types of music.

I also enjoy singing, weightlifting, tennis, and spending time doing Bible study and research.

As Jehovah’s Witnesses, my wife and I enjoy spending time together in the volunteer ministry, helping people to understand the Bible, benefit from its many principles, and look forward to its wonderful promises for the future. We also assist in caring for and maintaining Kingdom Halls as volunteers in the LDC (Local Design/Construction) department.
