After graduating from college, Bob with a degree in Physics from UC Riverside and myself with a degree in International Studies from UC Irvine, we ended up in separate parts of the world. " During that time, I was teaching English in Japan and really enjoying it. Looking back, it was there that I really found my identity, and honed my way of thinking. One of the overarching observations throughout my time there was that the people of Japan see the value in quality. I also learned how much time can be wasted in meetings and how communication slows as a company grows. Bob immediately landed a job at SunEdison, a small but rapidly growing commercial scale solar company. Reflecting on that time Bob says, "What little I know about business, I learned there. I fell in love with the Japanese way of craft, which is to pursue perfection in everything you do. I became increasingly fascinated by the fact that every person I observed working was doing it to the best of their abilities.
