I've lived in Japan continuously since 1976. At first in Tokyo, then Sapporo and now Okinawa. For the first few years I worked as an English instructor at an English conversation school and a university and then started my own English school. I've also done a fair amount of editing work since I've been here - mostly scientific and medical papers.
For fun I play music. My current instrument of choice is the Portuguese Guitar - a wonderful instrument. I also love to cook, bake and make cheese.
