Retired now for 14 years from UH-Maui, I seek to be of whatever service I can, given the breadth  of my personal and professional life on Maui since 1974. In my 50 years on Maui I have served on many boards, but of note as a member on the following as both board member and officer: Maui Academy of Performing Arts, Maui On Stage, Maui United Way, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Junior Achievement, Kula Community Association, and Hui Malama. While at the University, I served three terms on the University of Hawaiʻi Professional Assembly Board, three terms as UH-Maui Faculty Senate Chair, and two terms as Chair of the University of Hawaiʻi Community College Senate Council. When not teaching, most of my time has been spent as an actor, director, and producer, focusing much of my efforts ensuring that children have easy access to and experience theater. Of special note has been my performances for the past 24 years of the one man stage play Damien: The Leper Priest of Molokai. I have produced this play throughout the State of Hawaiʻi, the mainland, and in Europe.
