I am currently seeking one of seven seats to serve you on your County Council.  After graduating from Kauai High school, I pursued and received my B.B.A in Management from Chaminade University.  Soon thereafter I decided to return home to work in our local business, get married, and start a family of my own.  The desire to serve is not something that happened to me overnight.  My call to duty occurred with the birth of my daughter.  It made me realize the importance of the decisions we make today, and its impact on future generations.  We need to take care of today, in order to protect our future.  To do this, we must first serve.  And that in order to serve, we must not get in the way of ourselves.  I embarked on a journey that has led me to many avenues of servitude.  It led me to serve as one of nine on our electric cooperative’s board of directors.  It led me to serve as a director for the Kauai Police Activities League, a league that serves thousands of Kauai’s most precious resource, the keiki.  And today, it leads me here.  My desire to provide leadership to our island is embraced by yearning to serve.  Please consider electing me as your next councilmember.  I pledge to serve.
