About me

A cycle.traveller since 23 February 2025.

I am a California and New York attorney, fluent in Japanese. I practiced law in Osaka, New York, Tokyo and Los Angeles. Before law school, I was a ski bum in the Rockies and the Alps. I was a ski guide for Ski Supertravel in St. Anton, and taught waterskiing for the World's Slalom Silver medalist. I realised that mountain biking gave me many of the benefits of skiing without the need for lifts, a ski boat, or good weather. After years of snow and water skiing, my knees aren't what they used to be, so I am more into bikepacking.
