Hi, I'm J. I'm from Honolulu, Hawaii. When I was growing up, I always stayed home and played with my computers... I was a total geek! I often skipped school to stay home and hack stuff on the internet. When I was 14, I quit school to work full time as a computer programmer. After that silly job, I made my own little tech startup companies and consulted for different people around town... I spent the rest of my teenage years learning about people, business, and other fun stuff...
I bought a condo in town when I was 19, and after purchasing it I got interested in real estate and other investments. That was fun for a while, until I ventured off the tiny island I grew up on; when I was 20, I went on a trip to Tokyo for a few days... I immediately fell in love with the people, culture, language, food, technology, etc. - I didn't want to go home!
A few months after visiting, I got my apartment in Tokyo and immigrated to Japan. Starting up from scratch in a foreign country by myself at such a young age was a great experience! Now I'm here doing the tech-startup thing all over again... I'm developing cool new technologies and studying hard every day! I really love it here =)
Life is Tokyo is great! I have many friends and I am learning japanese very quickly. Hopefully business will continue to go as well as it is so far!
If you're near Tokyo and want to grab a beer or sing some karaoke, hit me up!!
