Hi! I’m Daniel Eck. Here is some information about me.

I was born in 1960 in Chicago. At the age of seven I moved to Whitehall, Michigan, graduating from Whitehall High School in 1977, then majoring in English education at Michigan State University in East Lansing. I got my B.A. from MSU in 1982 with a teaching license.

A year after finishing college, I moved to Tokyo, Japan to teach English. And that’s what I continue to do, now 28 years later and having spent more than half of my life living in Japan.

I currently teach English at Tokyo Jogakkan, one of the oldest private schools for girls in Japan. I teach in the middle school and high school, grades 7 ~ 12.

I also do freelance personal computer support, helping Tokyo area English speakers with their Mac and PC troubles.

Currently I design and make jewelry, specializing in amber and gold. I also buy and sell vintage guitars and exotic bicycles.

Until 2005, I was producing my own line of fashion garments, using recycled vintage kimono material, under the brand name “daniel eck tokyo.”

I’m a keen cyclist and ride about 7,000 km per year.

You can find out more about me if you explore this website.

Thanks for stopping by!
