such a classic photo with me and my Mom back in 1992. this was my graduation day at the University of Hawaii. looking back, this had to have been the biggest accomplishment in my life. and it was also the biggest turning point in my life. i had already planned to move to Japan so i sold everything i owned, packed my bags, and moved to Japan 2 weeks later. i went to Japan with 2 business suits, my resume, and a surfboard. my plans were to be the richest businessman in the world, but i ended up being a surfer. haha. but that is one choice i will never regret. people said i was wasting my college degree, but i alway told them “i’m using my degree every single day of my life. it taught me how to be on time, how to get things done, and how to make a living on doing what i love.” and that’s exactly what i’m doing till this day…
*check out Carter in the back. we were so young! haha. and my Mom wasn’t too happy about me holding a giant Asahi beer. haha…
