Purpose statement

This blog will provide a record of my activities while participating in the Pacific Century Fellows program; starting up Kuleana Micro-Lending; assisting Rep. Jessica Wooley, Common Cause Hawai'i and Voter Owned Hawai'i in their legislative initiatives; and working with the Clarence T.C. Ching PUEO (Partnerships in Unlimited Educational Opportunities) program. I've also included excerpts from books and magazines I've read, along with presentations and lectures I've attended that address relevant topics and issues.


Not everyone can be famous, but everyone can be great because everyone has the capacity to serve.

The Blue Sweater, Chapter 7, Traveling Without a Road Map

You see, I want a lot/ Perhaps I want everything:/ the darkness that comes with every infinite fall and the shivering blaze of every step up.
— Rainer Maria Rilke

Trust— it is such a simple word and so critical to the functioning of any good society.

When we ran our non-profit like a business, though we raised charitable money, we succeeded. When we acted more like a typical non-profit, neither holding ourselves to our mission nor measuring results, we usually failed.

How you see where you are depends on where you've been.
