Joe has been in Japan for some time now.  He arrived in Iwata (east of Hamamatsu) just as the bubble economy burst in 1990. During his stay here he has been a singer in a band, a graphic designer, an English teacher, a translator and a part-time tile setter. (He currently sings and writes for the band C.A. Delta Force)

His is the face you'll likely see at Hamamatsu station when you arrive, when you need to see a doctor, or when your tap won't work right.  If you have a question about life in Japan, motivating your students or life in general, he probably either has the answer you need, or can tell you who does.

Joe is a Libra.  (Although I don't see what that has to do with the price of tea in China, it's just something to know.)  He is married to a lovely former Four Seasons staff member (although, interestingly enough, they didn't meet here) and has four young sons to keep him busy.
