I have lived, studied and worked in Japan for over 25 years, surpassing the amount of time spent in his home of New York. After being sidetracked by dalliances in law and finance, I found an outlet for maypassion for the outdoors, great cuisine and snow sports when I acquired an established inn in Niseko in 2008. As an avid traveler, I have experienced a full range of destinations, from outback backpacker to cosmopolitan luxury and enjoys the challenge of channeling his personal observations into the remarkable growth of Niseko as Japan's first truly global resort.
