Donna, a proud Western Australian, has lived the last 10 years in Tokyo.
She keeps busy with her companies Dagmusic and Hotteeze and enjoys singing, gardening, dinner parties and playing with Kim and Mark’s cats.
Having grown up in Zimbabwe and South Africa, Mark practiced law before coming to Japan in 1993. He has had an entrepreneurial career and is a founding partner of private equity group in Tokyo. That leaves some time for squash, cricket, musical composition and spending time with his family.
Kim completed her master’s degree in systems engineering at the University of Virginia before moving to Tokyo in 1990 and becoming a professional voice over. But as head of The Tyler Foundation, she feels she has finally found what she was meant to do when she grows up! When she’s not doing charity work, speaking into a microphone or being a mom to her 5-yr-old daughter, she can be found singing, cooking or traveling. Oh, and thanks to her husband Mark, she now knows that cricket is the name of a sport in addition to being a noisy summer bug!
A New Zealand native, Anton came to Japan in 1996 after teaching high school there. After gaining experience teaching English to different age-groups he opened his own English conversation school in Fuji City. He still has enough spare time to cut the grass at the local cricket ground as well as umpire the occasional cricket match.
Born in TeAwamutu, New Zealand, Mark came to Japan in 1996 enroute to London and ended up staying. He is an owner of an English school in Fujinomiya City where he lives with his wife and two daughters. His hobbies include sports and music.
Robb grew up in Brisbane, Australia finishing a Bachelor of Arts before coming to Japan in 1997. After teaching for a few years he began studying Japanese and Asian Studies, moving to work for Medical Device companies in Tokyo and Osaka. He has played cricket since arriving with various teams, and has spent time helping coach and manage the Japan National Team.
Rob is an Australian who first came to Japan in 1997. After a two year stint in London, he returned to Japan in 2003. He is a Chartered Accountant and has had a career in banking and financial services working for KPMG, Merrill Lynch and Barclays. As well as being busy with a young family, Rob is actively involved with the Australia Society Tokyo and plays cricket and golf whenever time allows.
