Steven Modeer
Hilo
Summary
My name is Steven Modeer, and I have lived on the Big Island for 26 years with my two sons, who are now 22 and 24 years old. My food and beverage career has been filled with 60, 70, and even 80-hour workweeks for many years now. Days off have been the exception rather than the rule. I am now seeking any position where a hardworking, dependable worker is expected to work 40 hrs or less per week.
