WATARU TOMITA

Wataru Tomita or "Watt" as he is affectionately known, was born in Tokyo, Japan and immigrated to California in 1977 with his parents Aki and Kakuko and older brother, Shiro... Raised and schooled in Arcadia, Tomita was very involved in athletics. Watt's father introduced him to the game of golf when he was about 12 years old. "My dad has always been a huge fan of the game. I believe that the passion my father had for the game over the years, really inspired me to love golf as well" he says.
