Welcome to my Personal Page! I was born and raised in Florida in a very loving, diverse family. My mom is Japanese and my father is German, and I have one older sister -- she's the greatest. I have six sumo wrestler-looking uncles and a tiny Japanese grandmother, so I stick out like a Q-Tip in family pictures. Sushi and bratwurst -- that's my life!

As a kid I moved around a lot, so I have friends in lots of different cities. I was always an independent spirit and mature for my age. In fact, most of my friends were older than I was. I graduated from high school in 1998 and briefly attended Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida, but school was not my gig. I went through what seemed like a million jobs in retail, and I even had a stint as a Hooters waitress. That's when Playboy came into my life.
