Biography

I wrote my first poem at thirteen. Over 50 years later, I'm still trying to make magic every time I use words--written, spoken, edited or sung.

An award winning journalist and poet, editor of ten books (three of which won awards), former editor-in-chief of a leading Japanese-American community newspaper, marketing and branding coach … you name it, I've wrapped it up in words.

In my books, I'll inspire readers to step outside their comfort zones and offer some tools, stories or inside information to make their adventure more meaningful and productive.
