My Story/Bio
I didn’t have an ideal childhood—some have even suggested I should write a book or make a movie about it. This could easily turn into a sob story, but when you're 15 years old, unable to legally work, and you have no one but yourself to rely on, the struggle becomes real. How do you feed yourself when there's no safety net? ​ As a high school dropout, my opportunity came through a classified ad in the newspaper. I showed up as an introvert on a Monday morning at a warehouse filled with deep chest freezers. They were selling frozen steaks door-to-door. I gave it everything I had, but after two weeks, I had made just $40. I was furious. Meanwhile, I’d watch others—people who clearly had their own issues—work for six hours, make $700, disappear for a couple of days, then come back and do it again. Every time they worked, they earned $1,000 or more. ​ That day, I told myself: If a drug addict can do this, so can I. I never looked back. That experience taught me a vital lesson: sales is a skill, and anyone can learn it. It’s not about how you start, but about your perspective and determination. I’m not saying you should turn to drugs to be a good salesperson, of course. But the truth is, sales is an art form. Mastering it requires constant practice. ​ Since then, I’ve sold food door-to-door, Kirby vacuums, cars, property, databases, consulting work, marketing, merchant services, credit card processing, sales expertise, SaaS, businesses—and much more. ​ I eventually took a break from sales to join the military, driven by a sense of duty. However, after being medically retired, I felt guilty for receiving so much elite training but never getting to deploy. So, I spent the next ten years translating the care developed from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan into civilian care. I started as a phlebotomist and worked my way up to head of clinical research at the busiest Level 1 trauma center in the world—without a college degree. I wasn’t trying to impress you with my “natural intellect,” but to show that hard work, enthusiasm, and a solid foundation in sales are what made the difference.

Do companies need funding before they can really afford developers in the US?
Something I’ve been curious about lately. From my experience working with different software projects, development can become one of the biggest costs for a growing company. But not every business has raised money. Some companies are bootstrapped. Some are already making revenue. Others are still trying to get the product into the market. So I wonder how this works in the US. Do most companies wait until they raise investment before building a proper development team? Or are profitable small businesses comfortable investing in developers from their own revenue? Curious to hear from people actually running companies there. How do you usually think about this?

Curious about what US founders are building right now
I’m based in Tokyo and spend most of my time around software, AI, and business. Always interesting seeing what gets built in the US. Different speed, different market, sometimes a totally different way of doing things. For people here running a company in the US, what are you working on these days? Could be SaaS, AI, e-commerce, local business, anything really.
