I am a local boy that grew up diving and fishing out at Paiko’s. Like
many Hawaiian kids I went away for college and looked for greater
opportunities over seas. I have lived in Japan, Seattle, Portland and
Peru.  All the time I was away, I always had that burning desire to
move back to Hawaii. The time came in when my father was
diagnosed with cancer. That is when I knew it was time for me to
make my transition back home. 

I invite you to browse my site to learn more about me.
