About

JACK

Writer, Director, Husband, Dad and Stirrer of the Cosmic Oatmeal.

Hi I'm Jack. I live in Tokyo Japan and work as a copywriter/creative director.

I came to Japan twenty years ago to study Aikido and fell in love with the country, the culture, and a beautiful woman named Yoko. We married almost 15 years ago and we have a teenage daughter who keeps us on our toes.

Thanks for visiting my blog of ramblings as I look at my own life and look for ways to make it better. I hope you too will find something interesting here and make it yours.

Enjoy!

Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything—even mountains, rivers, plants and trees—should be your teacher.
