I settled into my new apartment in Nagasaki and began exploring the surroundings on foot. All of a sudden, this illuminated sign in English appeared in the distance that said "Chris Pizza." I walked in and that's when I met Chris. I explained that I just moved in and instantly I felt very welcomed by him. Not only did I discover that Chris is a great person to talk to, he's also a great business person. There are only a few foreigners who succeeded as entrepreneurs in Nagasaki, and Chris is the one I suggest you to meet. He's very generous with his time and knowledge. Chris introduced me to some work and was always very supportive of my own entrepreneurial endeavors. Without saying, I did end up eating a lot of pizza.

Chris is a dynamic and very creative entrepreneur. He is always willing to tackle new challenges and does so with an energy that is contagious.

      Working with pizza operations training, I was looking for a way to branch out and extend my skill set. The study of effective training techniques led me to the field of ADHD coaching. I partnered with a local doctor and we worked with some of the children in her day service program. What did I do? I worked with school aged children with learning disabilities. We focus on life skills like time management, maintaining focus, and task prioritization by providing encouragement, recommendations, feedback, and concrete techniques such as reminders, questions, and calendar monitoring to help students stay on track.
