Hailing from a small town in Belgium, J.P came to Fukuoka twelve years ago in 2001 to complete his postgraduate degree at Kyushu University, and never left! His time at Kyudai was followed by a ten-year stint working at a Fukuoka-based company providing automatic parking lot maintenance. After ten years, J.P was ready to tackle a new career in Japan. His native-level Japanese skills (one of six languages he speaks), together with a decade of customer service and management experience made him an attractive asset. When he was selected to join Fukuoka\u2019s Apple Store in Tenjin, J.P started as a Specialist after which he took on his current role as Support Leader on the Floor. Nowadays, J.P cooperates with a team of Japanese and foreign Apple Store staff and enjoys both the challenges and freedoms that come with the territory. In his spare time he continues his Japanese studies and plays some social futsal. Following his own mantra to \u201cdream big\u201d, he recognizes the importance of setting long-term goals, and has many big plans in store for the future."}
