I am the product of two worlds.
My father was raised on a cattle ranch in Star Valley, Wyoming. My bedtime stories were about bears and horses. My mother immigrated from Japan, where her family ran a fourth-generation printing business.
In our home, where East met West, we had many differences, but we agreed on our core values: quality, integrity, and stewardship.
Over the past twenty years, I have built a career spanning logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, footwear, apparel, and healthcare at demanding institutions, including Massachusetts General Hospital, MIT, Nike, and Converse.
One of my last projects was a two-million-square-foot, LEED-certified warehouse near Tokyo. I am proud of that building, but I built it for someone else. Both sides of my family owned what they worked on, and I want to do the same.
So, in 2026, we packed our family of four into our sixteen foot Airstream and moved to Denver, visiting American companies across fourteen states along the way.
Now, with the support of my spouse and investors, I am searching for one American business to acquire and operate.
