On the magical day of June 9th (some decades ago), I was given birth from a beautiful Okinawan lady with a heart of pure gold and a personality that could light up the entire room.
Throughout my childhood and adolescent years, I attended American schools on the breathtaking Pacific isles of Okinawa, Japan.
As the only child to an extra ordinary Okinawan mother and a proud Hawaiian daddy, I was raised with the traditional Okinawan/Japanese heritage and beliefs as well as the westernized American values. I was taught both Japanese and English languages (or Japanglish) and was the rambunctious ruler of my neighborhood gang. I guess the only concerns my parents had were whether I would grow up to be a menace to the society or an elegant young lady. Neither! I have an adventurous heart and passion for music, love and of course MEN (come on ladies fess up).
Growing up as an ugly duckling, I never would have imagined that I would ever fulfill my admirations of becoming a model (thank you to my family, friends, photographers and web surfers for your continuing support).
At age 18, I packed my bags and flew 10,000 long miles to Norfolk, Virginia where I attended Old Dominion University. Then one exciting visit to sunny California during spring break, I fell absolutely in love with the warm climate, the ocean breeze and the friendly people of San Diego - it reminded me of home. That same summer, I packed my bags up again and moved (adventurous heart) to the left coast. After a year of attending junior college and working full time at a local plastic distributor, San Diego State University finally accepted my transfer scripts. After couple of years of fraternity and sorority parties, exams, thesis and philanthropic events, I received my B.A. degree in International Business.
About five years ago, I decided that I was tired of selling financial programs to cheesy automobile dealerships andrepossessing cars, I decided to pack of my bags again and moved northward to Orange County. Here, I quickly climbed the corporate ladder of the hi-tech computer industry. Then one day (as some of you may know), I was dared after couple of shots of tequila to post my image on the web forum ... the rest is history.
Between juggling my ever demanding full time job as a professional computer application sales person and the exciting (dream come true) modeling career, I promise to you that I will bring
excitement to you and your loved ones, praises to those hardworking photographers, and admirations for the gorgeous associates and new models. I hope you enjoy
my web site and appreciate any comments all you men and women for site improvements or just to say "Konnichiwa, Hello or Aloha!"
Aloha nui loa,
