Family, Mentoring, Coaching, Islands
Im a married father of four (3 girls & 1 boy). Being a father has been the most rewarding and challenging experience of my life. I began mentoring and coaching in my mid twenties and im proud of the men and women I have been able to teach and learn from. Im extremely proud of the the decision I made in my early 20's to mentor and coach kids in the community I grew up in. Along with my best friend, I dedicated 10 years to youth baseball, coaching the same group of kids from ages 9 - 19. Once I started my own family I continued to share my passion for teaching to my children and all their friends. I'm passionate about the Hawaiian islands and all their history. I enjoy sharing my love and admiration for the Hawaiian culture with my family and im happy to say that my oldest daughter attends UH Manoa.
