About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Black and white w/ star

This is tough...I have done quite a bit and then some and ready to do a hell of a lot more.

I lived in Japan for 4 years designing training programs for Japanese executives. I've worked for some very large and small companies in executive positions and after a while I decided there has got to be more to life than meetings and negotiations so I started my own company. I completed my MBA at Thunderbird in International Management in 2005. I have been dying to start work on my Phd., but I think I will wait another couple years before starting.

I have been to Japan, China, Korea, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Puerto Rico, Haiti, and Mexico for now. I will have to admit my favorite country is Japan. If you can survive in Japan you can live anywhere, is what I say. Of course you will need to be able to speak, read and write Japanese to survive (yes I can do all three). China is next on my list of favorites and yes I can speak Chinese also.

I am a very easy going person, something you would not expect from a anal retentive MBA toting executive. I'm fiercely loyal to my friends and can be completely turned off by people who dont return messages (I view it as a character flaw). I am quite diplomatic until someone crosses the line. I have been known to be very intense and will not tolerate bullshit from anyone. However, this is California and life is good.

My Interests

Exploring new places, hanging with my friends, Partying with the ladies at Pink Cookies.com, movies, shopping (yes I said it, shopping), Traveling to Asia (Japan and China) and Europe, Rock climbing, Martial Arts, Japanese and Chinese history, Growing orchids, Weight lifting, Running, Philosophy, Wine, Would love to learn how to surf, Resturants, Art, start working on my PhD.

I'd like to meet:

People who don't worry about the little things in life... World travelers who have experienced countries with open eyes. If you can carry on a conversation that goes beyond what is on your iPod or the latest video you will sit at the pinnacle in my book.

I like people who are able to question rather than follow blindly and take a stand every now and then. I really like people who have a strong understanding of business and can express their ideas clearly no matter what it is. I like artist who can deal in the real world every now and then. I like people who are free, who don't worry about the little things and are able to do the things they love without worrying about what others think.
