As a computer technician, I see where technology can lead us, and the implications it has on our future in Hawaii.
As a businessman, I feel the effects of government on the economy and on the welfare of the homeless.
As a SCC board member at Webling Elementary, I now know what is holding back our education system.

As a parent, you can imagine what goes through my mind. Do you really want government to tell us how to raise our keiki?
