Where were you born and raised?
Originally, my family is from the island of Kauai. I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas while my parents served in the Air Force. We moved to Salt Lake City, Utah when I was seven, and would say that I was raised in Utah. My entire family now lives back in Hawai’i.
What is a day at work like for you?
They say that if you follow your passion, you will never work a day in your life. Work is about the challenges and goals you have in place and the little things you do every day to consistently reach your goals.

I enjoy having a positive impact on my teammates, my co-workers, my clients, and the communities we serve. Doing all we can to help make things as good as they can be.

We have a 4-year-old Brittany. His name is Bodhi, named after Patrick Swayze’s character in Point Break.

People who don’t use the turn indicator, blinker, while driving…like really? C’mon man!

Chicago Cubs, baseball is my all-time favorite sport.
What is your favorite type of music, and why?
There really isn’t a genre of music I won’t listen to. But I would have to say 90’s R&B and hip-hop/rap. If it makes you feel something, it’s worth listening to or trying it out.
What’s your favorite quote, and who said it?
