⚀ Enthusiastic Amateur Photographer & Expat American Helping people in Japan since 1987! ⚁ Experienced IT Manager, PM and Consultant. ⚂ CEO + Founder, @eSolia_Inc ⚃ Love Photography, Drumming, Cycling, Tech, Integration, SysAdmin, Mac, Random Oddness ⚄ Fluent Japanese.

 

I'm American from Pennsylvania, and have been based in Japan in or around Tokyo since 1987. I work in the consulting and IT management services industry, with specialization in bilingual (Japanese - English) consulting, project management and support for localization, compliance, and ERP projects.

 

In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family, cycling, photography, blogging, drumming, watching films, taking visitors to Japan on tours of Kamakura or Hakone, studying to develop myself professionally, a good chat, and an occasional drink with friends.

 

In terms of photography equipment, I use Fujifilm X series with Fujinon and Manual Lenses (Previously used Ricoh GXR. Nikon DSLR)

 

Note - if you add me but your profile says "...has nothing available for you" then I will block you.

Testimonials

Rick is a great guy - an incredibly welcoming host to wayward (touristic) souls, a photographer, cyclist, father, and lover of good food and drink. Rick lives, and he wants you to come along for the ride. If he offers to tour you around, make sure you do. Good times.
