I'm James Nakamura and most friends call me Naka (a childhood nickname that has stuck). Being originally from California we refer to each other as "dude" so thus the name Nakadude. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the East Bay suburbs. I became a Christian in middle school realizing that there was a void inside of me that I desperately needed filled. I also needed answers to some of the big life questions about life after death, who God is and where do I fit in this world.
