A Little Bit About Me
A devoted husband to my loving wife, Yumi, and a proud dad of two wonderful kids. Born and raised in the Philippines, I embarked on my professional journey in Singapore, where I lived for five years. It was during a conference in Singapore that I met Yumi, and after a year and a half of long-distance dating, I moved to Japan in July 2016 to be with her.
Now, I’m happily settled in Japan, navigating the joys and challenges of fatherhood with my 5-year-old son, Louie, and my 3-year-old daughter, Ellie. Like many dads, I strive to be the best father I can be while juggling work and family life. I understand the struggles of finding a good work-life balance and am here to share my journey and support other hardworking dads in achieving a fulfilling and balanced life.
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

A Journey of Resilience
Life hasn’t always been kind to me. I’ve faced job losses, challenges in my relationships with my wife and children, business failures, and the weight of depression from adjusting to life in Japan, where the language barrier and feeling of isolation are significant hurdle. But in those darkest moments, I discovered something profound: resilience. It’s that stubborn spark within us that refuses to be extinguished.
The Turning Point
As a husband and father, I realized that my battles weren’t mine alone. My wife and kids were counting on me—their rock, their anchor. So, I fought back. I clawed my way out of despair, one step at a time. And you know what? I made it. But I still continue to learn and persevere as new challenges arise.
The Missing Piece
But here’s the secret: I didn’t do it alone. Friends, family, and mentors stood by my side. They held me accountable, pushed me forward, and celebrated every small victory. That’s when I understood the power of having someone in your corner—a coach who won’t let you settle for mediocrity.
