Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme (JET) / Assistant Language Teacher (ALT)

Don't stop short of your dream.

Originally just a small town boy from the United States, I grew up wondering if there was really a world beyond the corn fields outside my door. My first peek into the truly vast and exciting world we live in was through the internet. Inspired by the online experiences that were otherwise outside my reach, I went to and graduated from university with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Fueled

Ambition

In the future

I hope to one day become able to confidently and effectively communicate in Japanese, in addition to English. I want to help others improve their language and communication skills.
