About
Build the place. Bring in people. Create real work.
Across education, media, business services, talent and ventures, the pattern has stayed the same: create the environment, bring in people, test what works, and evolve the model.
The path so far.
Washington, DC
Roots in the Washington, DC area and a family of farmers, teachers and community builders. International studies, and an early network of entrepreneurs, educators and connectors.
Tokyo
First came to Japan in 1994 and settled in Tokyo in 2004. Long-term operating experience across education, business services, media and venture development.
DC English
A real school and community in Omotesando, built around practical communication and, later, digital learning.
Peace Works K.K.
A Tokyo operating company and venture studio: market entry, talent, media and trade, delivered on the ground.
Digital Futures Intl, Inc.
A Delaware company for AI capability, learning platforms and international ventures, and the contracting company for clients outside Japan.
Now
One connected ecosystem, still operating, still building. And still playing bass on Tokyo stages.
Family
Music and service run in the family.
My great-uncle Tommy Edwards recorded "It's All in the Game." His sister Harriet, "Aunt Hat," was an artist and entrepreneur. My father Lloyd Peace still builds community through conversation, here in Tokyo.
