Lainie and I fell in love with Molokai the first time we visited in 2010 and purchased our condo before going home. We love coming here and always enjoy the beauty, friends, and charm of the island. My career was in residential cabinet manufacturing for 43 years with the last 20 plus as President/CEO of a large company. I’ve served on many boards in the private sector, condo associations and nonprofits. I retired the last day of 2016 and immediately got on a plane for Molokai!
We have been married for over 50 years and have 7 children and 18 grandchildren. Most all of them have been to Molokai and one of our greatest joys is bringing them here. Our hobbies are boating, quilting, traveling, boating some more, visiting family, and boating some more. And of course, coming to Molokai.

Buildings and Maintenance
Joanne and I first visited Molokai and Kepuhi Beach Resort (KBR) in 2018, and we immediately fell in love with the island and the community here. We purchased our condo in 2021 and have truly enjoyed being part of KBR and making wonderful friends on Molokai.
Now that I am fully retired, I am pleased to accept the invitation to serve on the Board of Directors for Kepuhi Beach Resort.
With over 40 years of experience in various roles within the construction industry, as well as owning a woodworking company in California for 29 years, I naturally felt drawn to the Buildings and Maintenance position on the board at KBR. I am looking forward to collaborating with the rest of the Board of Directors, KBR's Manager, as well as my fellow homeowners to help maintain and enhance our beautiful community by the sea.
