Hello my name is John Yamazaki. My parents are both from Japan, making me Nisei. I grew up in Moorpark CA, speaking Japanese at home so I am familiar with the language. I have been to Japan twice in '89 and 2000. In college I gained greater appreciation for my culture so I earned a minor in Japanese along with a BA in History and from UC Santa Barbara.

I currently teach World History and Geography at Granada Hills Charter High School in the Northridge area. In my spare time I enjoy singing, playing the guitar, running, and spending time with my wife. We both share a love for country music, and Asia. They don't really go together so I guess that makes us a perfect match.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you this weekend!
