A graduate of Cornell University and a 21 year resident of Japan, Harry Hill has founded, owned and operated several companies in the marketing, real estate, media and entertainment industries.

Hill met Robert Roche, the founder of Oak Lawn Marketing, in 1990 and together they founded H&R Consultants, which
