I just finished up a three-year stint in Okinawa, Japan (as of Aug. 4) and thought I'd start things out right by joining this site. I'm a goal-oriented guy with many interests. I'm an urban planner and economic development specialist in the public sector by trade but have been a teacher for the last three years. My choice to move to Japan had to do with a life goal that I've had since high school. I've practiced Okinawan karate for 24 years and chose to move here and study intensely while I had the capacity to do so and while my teachers were still active. I'm a health nut and follow the Paleo-diet pretty closely. I play guitar and have a broad range of music interests.
I'd be interested in meeting a woman who is full of life, healthy and active, open-minded, positive and can keep me on my toes. I'll keep this brief and open for now. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers!
