ALOHA! I'm a nice boy from Hawaii who moved to UC Berkeley, then to DC, and now to Newport Beach.
I am committed to doing my small part to make this world a better place.
To accomplish this, I constantly trying to figure out how to make it cool for young people to want use some of their privileges to uplift others.
Any one who really knows me, knows I’ve done my fair share of stupid shit. But I’ve also been driven by a simple belief that small acts of kindness and compassion, multiplied by millions of people each day can make a tremendous difference.
The daunting realities of war, poverty, hunger and hurricanes can be overwhelming at times. Traveling over seas and seeing people hate me sight on seen becase I am American was demoralizing.
But there is nothing wrong with America that can’t be fixed with what’s right with America.
Living in DC was such a gift. Anheuser-Busch funded my congressional fellowship. In DC, my boss, Congressman Mike Honda taught me that we are going to figure all this shit out. There are enough resources for everyone to get at least a plate lunch to eat each day--a roof over their head, so they can sleep securely through the night and send their sons and daughters to school the next day.
While working in congress, I toured the Gulf Coast with directors of The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Red Cross and some members of Congress hoping to find solutions to the may problems facing the families affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
My heart goes out to all the families that lost loved ones and their livelihoods. Although FEMA could have reacted more quickly and much more effectively, let us be grateful that have a FEMA and a Red Cross. The Victims of natural disasters in Pakistan and Latin America are also in need of major assistance from earthquakes and mudslides. Please say a little prayer for all these families.These experience inspired my to draft legislation to ensure all americans have equal access to disaster releif services. My bill was adopted by others and for future disaters, people in the disability community and people whose first language is not english, will have better access to disaster releif services.

Now I'm in Newport beach. I landed a gig working for Leigh Steinberg, the real life Jerry Maguire. Leigh has become my friend and mentor.
Together, we will continute to work with athletes to address our America's most pressing issues.
Addressing climate change will be our first initiative. Did you know that hella smart scienteis agreee that we have just over 3,000 days left to turn climate change around, or else Florida, California and New York will be under water?
It's time to step up and beat this challenge. We've partnered with Warren Moon and will continue to bring more athletes on board.
Here is picture of us at the Enviromental Media Awards: Leigh Steinberg, the real life Jerry Maguire, my date, Hawaii's finest, Lauren M., formerally of Deal or No Deal and one of our agents, Keith Harris.
