Entertainer, Love FM Air Jockey (strap) and Athletic Supporter at the Dome
Already famous as the ever-hyper, always goofy host of “Maximum Times” on Love FM (9:00 ~ 11:00 weekdays), Max, as in “Ohaiyougozai-MAX!” has a new gig! Max is now the Yahoo! Japan Dome’s MC for all Softbank Hawks home games. After announcing the starting line-ups and MC-ing pre-game events, Max pops up all around the dome interviewing fans, playing with mascots, and dancing with cheerleaders. Despite the fact that he can’t swing a bat or catch a ball, Max is fast becoming a star at the Dome. He really enjoys his role as a link bringing the fans and the field closer together. Surprisingly, Max said it wasn’t so long ago that he feared speaking in public, but his experience of being on air for the past two and a half years changed all that. His advice to others thinking of trying something new? “Move out of your comfort zone, trust yourself and trust others to help you.”

エンターテナー、Love FMエアジョッキー、ヤフードームMC
「オハヨウゴザイマックス！」で既に福岡の有名外国人、Love FM「マキシマムタイムス」（平日9：00〜11：00）でお馴染みのマックス。彼の新しい顔、それは、ヤフードームで行われるホークス戦でのMCとしての顔だ。試合前のイベントの司会、客席スタンドを回ってのファン達へのインタビュー、マスコットと一緒になって盛り上げたり、チアリーダーと踊ったりもする。実際試合に出るわけではないが、観客とフィールドを一つにする仕事をエンジョイしながら、今やヤフードームのスターへと成りつつある！？驚くことに、こうやって人前に出て話すのは苦手だったらしいが、FMでエアジョッキーをやって来た2年半が彼をここまで変えたということだろう。何か新しい事を始める人にアドバイスは？という問いには「ぬるま湯から一旦出てみること。その後は自分を信じ、何かあれば周りもきっと助けてくれると信じることだ」と笑顔で答えてくれた。
