Originally from Winnipeg, Canada, I moved to Quebec City to study Cultural Anthropology at Laval University…in French! I came to Japan way back in 1990 for a" one-year" Working Holiday, but I loved it here so much that I stayed! When I'm not teaching university and adult students, I love playing the harmonica and traveling. Over the years,
I've played harmonica in various bands ranging from blues and rock to electronica and experimental. Needless to say, I love ALL kinds of music!
Since I particularly enjoy visiting Asian countries, Japan has been a great base for me to explore many interesting places. Of course, I also like taking trips all over Japan, especially to onsen!
But my favourite place in the whole world is The Lake of the Woods in Ontario, Canada where I have spent every summer since I was born!
People often ask me why I like teaching. The answer is easy; I enjoy meeting all kinds of people, and they teach ME a lot too!
