He also founded the legal side of the Free Back Mountain Medical/Legal Clinic called Doctors and Lawyers at Your Service.
Born in Boston, he has lived on both coasts and Hawaii, attended high school in Portugal and France, attended University in France before transferring to UC Berkeley, did graduate work at the California Institute of Asian Studies, did law school at U.C. Hastings in San Francisco, and graduated from the Oomoto School of Traditional Japanese Arts in Kyoto, Japan.
