Retired now for 10 years after being with UH Maui for 37 years as a professor of English, Literature, and Linguistics, Vincent Ryan Linares spends most of his time with his theatrical production company, Oh Boy Productions, acting in, directing, and producing theater classics. He also continues to produce and act in Damien–a one man theatrical tour de force about the life of Molokaʻi’s priest, Father Damien. “When not pursuing theater projects, I garden, teach cooking classes at the Maui Senior Center, serve on several local nonprofit boards, and constantly direct my energies on making my home on the slopes of Haleakalā at 4,000 feet, as perfect as can be!” He has been a board member since 2019.
