Outside Projects
I have been involved in the creation of several organizations in my spare time including a motorcycle club that has been active for over 10 years, a theatre company that produced two profitable shows, and a successful motorcycle repair cooperative.
I have managed a family Bed and Breakfast business, ran the Honolulu Marathon and completed two skydives. I’ve traveled CA Hwy 1 in its entirety on a motorcycle and bathed in hot springs in Iceland. I’ve kissed the Blarney Stone in Ireland and laid on the beach in Mexico. I’ve damaged countless appendages playing volleyball and racquetball and engaging in wrestling, tae kwon do and snow sports.
