As CEO of JCA Resources, Uyeda directs a full scope of development, finance and acquisition services backed by more than 30 years of real estate development experience.  Beginning his career in the financial industry, working with financial institutions and investors, and expanding his opportunities to office and retail centers, high-rise office buildings, mixed-use developments and hotels, Uyeda gained a reputation for developing properties that worked within each of the communities they served.  Over the past three decades, Uyeda successfully completed more than 2 billion dollars in major developments, with his premiere property being, The Greater Los Angeles World Trade Center in downtown Long Beach, a public/private partnership.  Uyeda expanded JCA's scope in the international trade arena with the formation of the JCA de Mexico offices in Mexico City and Guadalajara and creating a trade division for JCA which handles trade and product marketing between Japan, China and the Americas. 

For Uyeda, his personal interest is ''China and of course, Qingdao City, is that being of Japanese ancestry, the root of the Japanese culture is from China.  China's influence on the world is tremendous.  The Chinese civilization was so far ahead of the Western civilization and there is much to learn from a 5,000+ year civilization.  I would love to have a 'working knowledge' of Mandarin, and engage in more direct 'people to people' relationships to China.''
