Hometown

I was born and raised in Kaneohe, Hawaii.

Family Info

Aside from my parents I have two siblings. My brother is also a pastor here at HCKB and my sister is in her second year of college at Carnegie Mellon University in PA. I also have a dog named Charlie and a million fish that I desperately try to keep alive.

How did you come to HCKB?

I have been attending HCKB since I was in elementary school! I was brought here by my mother.

Ministry Passion

I love equipping and helping to catapult people into their God given destinies. I also have a passion to see every member in our body connected and growing in their giftings from the Holy Spirit. Crafting an environment in our weekend services for people to have God experiences is another passion of mine.

Biggest influence in your life over the past year and why

I have learned so much this past year through the Holy Spirit, reading the Bible and honest friends.

Fun Stuff

Travels
I LOVE to travel!! I have been to Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Canada, Mexico and a random spattering of US States. I would love to go to Europe and spend an extended period of time there.

Hobbies
I truly love to eat and go to the beach. I enjoy hiking and reading.
What you do for fun: Going to the beach and doing other water related activities… and eating

What makes you laugh
Hmmmm…funny movies, throwing things at people and watching them wonder who threw it, scaring people, listening to people share their embarrassing moments
