This is a story about an
international couple raising and home educating three
young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in
buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in
the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with
climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages
are about pretty much anything and everything all guided
by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes,
Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our
ongoing crazy adventure.

 Archive
Welcome to my story archive pages. These pages were inspired by my kids who
consistently let me know how much they are interested in my past, and made
possible thanks to a lot of raining days and time in the house. These pages are
basically chunks of information that were too cumbersome to split up and put on
my individual story pages. My kids wanted to know about places I lived, my
education and work background, and of course, old and interesting stories.
Although this information is mostly for them, all of you are welcome to read
these pages as well. |
 Places
This is a picture of my old house and where my story began. This was a really old
house in a very small, and quaint little village in western New York called
Kenmore. Many of my best memories were in this house and during those years and
also some of my most difficult. Either way, this house is a huge part of my
story. The places pages show all of my residences from 1960 to the present,
beginning in Kenmore, New York, then on to San Diego, California, and eventually
leading to several places in Japan.

 Education
These are all the places where I was educated. Yup, I was in court at age 15 for
not wanting to go to school and violating the New York Department of Education
Guidelines. My desire to be free of the constraints of a state imposed education
won out. I went on to obtain a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business
Administration with an emphasis in Real Estate, an Associates Degree in Japanese
Studies, and a Teaching English as a Second Language Certificate. Pretty good
for a high school dropout. |

 Employment
These are all of the "fantastic" places where I worked and the "interesting"
things I did to pay the bills. |
Acting
This is a record of my brief acting career. |
