Previously the GIA's Japanese correspondant, J.T. was forced to take a leave of absence from the site upon returning to American shores. Upon finding that his Visual Art degree wasn't able to net him the type of job that he wanted, he buckled down and started saving to be able to go back to school for a second degree. After a frantic summer filled with many hours of overtime at work (though ones made much more enjoyable upon meeting a certain person), he found himself not only with the desire to return to the site, but the time to do so. Of course, time may become a commodity again once his Computer Animation degree at Full Sail truly kicks in, but at least he'll be able to use the power of soundstages, professional mixing boards, and SGI workstations for the good of the GIA.
