I’m a writer, photographer and cartoonist currently living on Okinawa. I’m American, have never lived in one place for more than five years at any point in my life and I’ve lived in Europe and Asia for the past decade. My travel and history writing has previously appeared in the Pacific Historic Parks newsletter Remembrance, Friends of the Tank Museum’s Track Links and Stripes Japan.
I like making art, mixing tiki drinks and speaking mediocre Tagalog. So far I’ve traveled to 30 countries for both work and leisure. And one time to participate in a ground war.
I could never be a permanent nomad because if I was, where would I keep all of this liquor from my travels?

I’ve lived, studied, and worked in the Tokyo/Yokohama area for about 11 years. Like my similarly named friend, I am also an American, though I have spent most of my time as an ex-pat in and around Asia. I’ve visited eleven countries and two U.S. protectorates. Then I went to college to get a communications degree, where I added photography to my long list of hobbies. Other hobbies include cooking, playing the guitar, writing, and exploring interesting, lesser known parts of Japan. I currently work as an English teacher at a small school in a smaller coastal city an hour outside of Tokyo. And I speak mediocre Japanese. Kind of.
