John has provided and continues to provide project management, market entry, market research and investor relations consulting services to foreign and Japanese companies.  His work includes, corporate branding projects for several Japanese blue chip companies, market analysis for a major U.S. Internet services company, IT projects for a major U.S. bank, the sale and delivery of Japan-built chemical tankers for a major European energy company and its business in the Greek market and corporate communications for a major U.S. beverage company.

John loves rock climbing, cycling and hiking followed by a long dip in an outside mountain hot spring with an ice cold drink in hand. He claims to find some deep philosophical meaning in Tokyo life, especially while reflecting on the evening view of Mt. Fuji tainted in orange and red and the sun setting...."
