| Introduction | As for my career, I've worn many hats, but spent many years in the Music Industry doing promotion, marketing, production, DJing for radio, Radio Production, Promotion, Worked for two major Music Business Trade Mags in Los Angeles, moved to Tokyo where I was partners in an indies label for a couple years, then decided to follow in my father and mothers footsteps to become an educator. I've been teaching for 7 years, love it, and have just become a university teacher! About three years ago I was introduced to Permaculture, and became certified by Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton. I now consult people on how to design their lifestyles toward sustainability. I also run a B&B on the base of Mt. Fuji. |
