Born in the U.S.A. - Worked 30 years in executive management high tech Industry, owned a management consulting firm and a wildlife art publishing company.

In 2012 completed the Ultimate Travel Writer’s course and published my first article Tower Hopping in Japan with Travel Post Monthly.

Since then I have published travel related articles and books in the U.S., Japan, and Costa Rica, with over 85 articles at www.japantravel.com

I have traveled all but one region of Japan. My objective is to expose prospective tourist to areas of Japan outside the Tokyo - Kyoto corridor.

Residing in Yokohama for close to five years I have explored the entire city by foot and have written about my experiences along the way. I participate in Press/Monitor tours throughout the country and then provide feedback to help improve the foreign traveler's experience.
