My name is Christopher Micek, and I have been alive for almost 46 years! Wow! When I was in high school, I thought anybody older than 40 was almost retired. My daughters are often embarrassed because, as I get older, I say jokes that aren't very funny. In English we call them bad puns but in Japanese you call them 'oyaji-gags'. Now that I am officially an 'oyaji' I can't stop saying these bad puns...they're fun, these puns. Come and have some 'pun' with me!
I was born in California, but I think of myself as a small-town boy. I lived on a farm in Oregon and then moved to Spokane. After meeting my future wife (Chika), we moved to another small town, but this time it was in Japan. I loved it there and stayed for almost nine years with my twin daughters, Erika and Serina.
Coming back to Spokane, I started working at MFWI and then my wife and I had another child. His name is Koh (named after a friend of mine) and he loves Japan and Japanese things more than anything else. He grew up in Nishinomiya, so living in Spokane now is a little strange for him.
I have enjoyed traveling and meeting people from all over the world. I don't think I'll stop doing what I love.
