About Me

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in the 1960s, I grew up in Honolulu, dropped out of high school to work at 15, went to college on the windward side at 16, dropped out again at 18 to work until I was 19, then moved to the mainland to go to School in Texas. Returned to Hawaii to work at VeriFone a year or so later, transfered to Redwood City, CA and after leaving VeriFone I spent several years chasing my Career through California, Wisconsin, and winding up in Connecticut working for CoStar and then Dymo after they merged. Returned to Hawaii hoping to make a go of it in 2000, but had to move on a year later when our internet startup failed. Met my partner, Leo, working in Aisa, returned again to Hawaii in 2005 to finish my BSEE and continue on to Canada, where I've lived happily ever after (more or less).
