Samuel is the Co-Founder and Lead Web Developer of Bunka Bond Education.
From 2018–2019, he studied abroad at Waseda University, where he strengthened his passion for language exchange and cross-cultural communication.

He graduated from Sonoma State University, a small university of around 9,000 students known as one of the most beautiful campuses in the California State University system — surrounded by vineyards, rolling hills, and redwoods.

Sonoma State is especially known for:

• Business and Psychology, its most popular majors

• A world-class music program

• The Green Music Center’s Weill Hall, which has hosted artists such as Kenny G, Los Tigres del Norte, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, and more

Located in the heart of California’s Sonoma County wine region, the campus even has its own wine business center, complete with wine-tasting facilities — a reflection of the region’s world-famous wine industry.

Today, Samuel works as a web developer and continues building Bunka Bond Education to create a space where Japanese and American learners can genuinely connect through language and culture.
