General Manager and Vice President, Turtle Bay Resort and Spa<\/p>\n

You grew up in Hawaii, moved away and recently returned. What prompted both moves? <\/B><\/I>After I graduated from the University of Hawaii School of Travel Industry Management, I wanted to see how the rest of the world lived. Like a lot of people who grow up in Hawaii, you feel at times that you have to go to the Mainland to grow in your career.<\/p>\n

After working at some highly prestigious hotels and resorts, was it a difficult decision to come back to the Islands? <\/B><\/I>(Smiles) No, not at all. Although I was approached at first about a different opportunity, once I heard that the opportunity at Turtle Bay was open, it was an easy decision to come home. My family is here, I was born and raised here, and now I’m home working among family and friends. It’s so beautiful being home!<\/p>\n

Turtle Bay has changed so much in the years you were off-island. I think it’s almost unrecognizable to people who remember it from 20 years ago. <\/B><\/I>Oh, definitely. It’s undergone and is still undergoing an incredible renovation. The entire hotel is warm, it’s open and it has beautiful views that were not as obvious before. Local people really notice a dramatic difference.<\/p>\n

I think what’s most striking is that the resort finally feels as though it has a sense of place. It’s part of the surfing world around it … <\/B><\/I>Yes, that was a no-brainer, really. The North Shore is world-renowned, so for us it made so much sense to tie into the image that was already out there and focus on waterman sports.<\/p>\n

Neighbor Island travel has become so expensive. North Shore is a short drive into a different world without the expense of planes and rental cars. <\/B><\/I>Yeah, growing up here I took the North Shore for granted, but when I lived on the Mainland I would imagine how beautiful it would be to be able to walk along the beach, to be part of the landscape here. Now that I’m back I appreciate it every day! There’s a sense of calm up here – you park your car, you walk into the hotel and you breathe a sigh of relief (smiles).<\/p>\n

Even the website is quite relaxing. <\/B><\/I>(Laughs) Yes, our new website … it really is. Everything here at Turtle Bay, from the spa to the restaurants – it’s all changing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
