Dr. Greg is a single father raising his young daughter in Japan after his wife passed away in 2020. He works full time as an Associate Professor teaching International Cooperation. Living in Japan for 25 years, Greg has a breadth of knowledge about a wide range of topics, but excels in understanding the role language plays in forming identity. He is also a successful videographer and Kendo 4th-dan expert.
Greg shares with us his experiences of raising his daughter, joining mother's groups and being shocked at watching completely sober Japanese guys duke it out in broad daylight.
