This journey is dedicated to…
Keala and Keoni, my beloved children the reasons I’ve embarked on this journey into the Ed.D program, sacrificing my presence (physical or mental) like navigators of old to reach their destination.
Desha, my wife, the most trusted pilooy (companion on a journey) who continues to captain the family canoe with such competence, compassion, and conscience.
Urupuwulo, my brother who became a father figure, inspiration, and the navigator-leader whose leadership and humble wisdom has guided my extended family and the community on Houk Island.
