I am half-Hawaiian, half-French. I'm a passionate, driven, sharp, kind person who enjoys people and understands that the ultimate measure of one's life is the level of one's contribution.
I'm a critic of good movies (which precludes those featuring helicopters or pro-wrestlers), enjoy live theater (ala Ashland Shakespeare Festival ), literature, 80's-rock, dancing, travel (Bali, Hawaii, Europe, India, the USA!), Kennedy history and trivia.
A bit of a gourmet, I can cook a thick, mean gumbo to a tender rack of lamb. I have a green thumb and do a little gardening and amateur landscape design. Here's the Japanese garden I built for myself in Portland:
Great with kids, but have none of my own--yet! I once had a ferret (see photo in album), but sadly, she ran away. I moved back to California for many reasons, but mostly because I love my family and it was time to "come home." So, I relocated to Orange County area from Portland, Oregon last year.
The son of a Hawaiian Kahuna and step-son of a Cherokee Shaman, I can't get away with much for very long. So I'm constantly in pursuit of personal growth and enlightenment. I'm committed to paying homage to creators of the earth and to learning all I can from Landmark Education and the study of "being" [which is rather tough, by the way!].
Neil Diamond
I'm a huge Neil Diamond fan--the guy wrote virtually everything! My commitment to myself this year is to sing "Play Me" to a really big karaoke audience.
Arrested Development
I admire the quick, pithy, dry, sophisticated humor of the television show ( Arrested Development ). I loved that show like a friend. A really hot, female friend who would get drunk and call in the middle of the night and say things like, “Why don’t we just make out, there’s nothing better to do.†Then FOX cancelled it, and I lost a piece of myself. I miss that show!
Tobias Funke: "No, no, it's pronounced a-nal-ra-pist."
Buster: "It wasn't really the pronunciation that bothered me."

Night Life
I like techno and FINALLY have some friends who know where to go to hear good music...in Hollywood.
