Throughout my career\, I’ve taught thousands of `ukulele\, hula\, and Tahitian drum students\, enhancing my curriculum and cultivating a new generation of artists with a refined sensitivity to the culture bridging the Midwest to the islands through shared repertoire. As a Midwest-based Native Hawaiian\, I continue to preserve\, perpetuate\, and protect Pacific Island cultural arts.
