Each kanji name carries two things at once — the sound of your name, and the story of who you are.

ro · tsu · do = Rod / hou · ku · su = Hawkes

"A person who knows where they came from, stands quietly here and now, and connects hope to the future."

”I'm (happily) retired from Cornell!

Here's how I felt and still feel about the kanji you created for me- it seems to accurately capture my life - past, present, and future.”
