About me
I'm originally from Portland, Oregon, relocated to Tokyo in 2000. Fluent in Japanese and immersed in the local culture. My experiences include:
Project and Team Manager:
I manage projects and teams for an English School / Services with 200+ staff members operating at 28 locations in the Tokyo Metropolis. I have experience with HR, training, content management, curriculum development, website design & implementation, marketing, sales-pitches, multimedia production, budgeting and more.
Web Designer:
I help small businesses and organization get online by designing and implementing websites for them. I'm all about making simple sites that are easy to maintain for developers and non-developers alike.
Film Translator / Localizer:
I work on projects localizing films to include Japanese / English subtitles. I tend to focus on independent films, including documentaries on music / art icons. Some are award winning.
Record Label Operator:
I own and operate a cassette tape label called Union Pole. Started in 1993, I eventually brought the entire catalog of 76 cassettes and 7 vinyl releases online - unionpole.com - with the premise that the entire 4GB catalog of music could be downloaded for $1.
Digging:
Music. Film. Crafty beer. Kale. Family. Basketball. Dame Dolla.
