Jay embarked upon his journey to entrepreneurship after moving from Texas to California in 2007. Enamored with the emerging dynamics of the tech space, he co-founded Yamamoto Industries - a purveyor of electronic accessories and lifestyle goods. Yamamoto Industries has a strong hold on the Japanese market with presence in over 275 retail locations. Their catalog includes, but not limited to, extended reinforced cellphone charger cords, water bottles, and Bluetooth enabled speakers.

On his time off, you can find Jay golfing, exploring a new mountain to hike, playing basketball, or venturing down the 101 with his intrepid rescue-dog in tow.
