Personal

Outside of work, I enjoy running, cycling, hiking, exploring with my family, and writing.

HYOJI project

In my countless outings exploring Japan, the diversity, quality, and abundance of signs (yes, signs, designed and erected by humans) has provided a truly endless source of curiosity and interest for me. What started as a photo log of peculiar signposts on hikes with my kids is slowly growing into a pretty big project.

Articles

A somewhat eclectic mix of short personal articles I've written over the years.

Mountain hikes

There are few things I enjoy more than getting out my hiking boots and climbing mountains big and small. This is a highly incomplete list of hikes, but it gives you some idea of where I've been.

Lots of fun exploring Mitarai-keikoku in southern Nara, circa 2016.
