Welcome! Here's my life story in a nutshell: I was born and eventually I will die. Oh, you want more? I'm flattered! OK, I was born on May 31st and due to the fact that I have stopped aging, I cannot disclose the year (that was part of the deal). I am definitely a Gemini, a very strange breed and the sign of the Twins.

My ethnicity is Japanese/Caucasian. My mother and father met in Okinawa, Japan when my father was in the Army. They married, had my brother, moved back to the States and had me. No, I was not raised as your stereotypical "military brat", but we did attend many crazy Special Forces reunions growing up.

I spent my early childhood in the Midwest, my elementary and junior high years overseas, and back to the Midwest for high school and college. I was quite the problem child back then so we'll leave most of those details out. I received my B.F.A. in Commercial Art/Computer Design from Millikin University, a small private liberal arts college in Illinois. For years I wanted to make the journey across the country to Southern California and I finally did just that in the fall of 1999. No regrets! This is truly the best weather in the country.

During my years overseas, I was lucky enough to have traveled with my family all over the world to places like Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, Italy, France, England, Japan, Singapore--OK, enough...you get the picture! As a result, the experiences and sights that I've seen have caused me to view the world from a very unique perspective. It's also contributed well to my insanity.

I started modeling in 2001, after realizing that desk jobs are just not for me. You see, I'm a little hyper and I tend to complain just a bit when I'm confined, so sitting for eight hours a day is like a form of torture for me. In addition to the modeling, I'm also pursuing a career as a musician. Yeah, yeah...just like every other freak in SoCal trying to chase that impossible dream.

I love what I'm doing now. Every day is an adventure. I meet tons of people and it sure breaks the monotony of a nine-to-fiver. There is still so much more that I have yet to accomplish. What does the future hold? I couldn't tell you. I can tell you this--it will definitely be an interesting journey.
