Why Is Sustainability Important To You, Or What Is Something You Try To Do In Order To Live More Sustainably? Our resources ARE finite, so I like to hunt and spearfish and grow my own food. That way I can be selective, reduce by catch and waste, and reduce my carbon footprint by eliminating resources used in manufacturing and processing store bought food. 

What’s An Element Of Hawaiian Culture Or Tradition That You Respect, Appreciate, Or Value? I appreciate the Hawaiian tradition of living off the land. With such fertile land the ‘aina provides fresh fruit year round, and in abundance. The waters surrounding the island are plentiful, and through sustainable harvesting practices can provide fresh fish year round as well. 

What Makes You Stoked To Work For Trilogy? I get to be on the water every day!
