1. What’s your background? I was born in Australia to Kiwi parents and grew up in Adelaide.
2. How did you end up in Japan? My wife and I lost our first child at 37 weeks. At the same time, I was trying to get out of the dog-eat-dog fossil fuel industry, and so we decided it was time for both of us to take a step back, rethink and reset. We came to Japan so I could undertake my MBA at Kyoto University.
