Well Kah intrest has died down...
I will sum up my life now in as few words as possible.
I went to college at 18, dropped out at 20, became a carpenter, travelled around the country on a motorcycle (I could write a book on those stories).
Lots of fast bikes and even faster women.
BTW one of my biker buddies from High School no less is the guy in the hippie pic with me in my linked sig.

Went back to school when I was 23, I decided to become a civil engineer. I sure had fun in college second time around, more confidence with women and all I even dated the head of the American Indian society, every month she would go back tot eh Navajo reservation and bring back a suitcase full of cactus cuttings, legally!
Anyway I digress (she could suck start a Harley btw, but that mustache really turned me off, a year after we broke off I saw her sans mustache and Man was I aching for some but no go for the Hyper, oh and, sorry ladies to be so graphic).
I graduated at 27 and went to work for an outfit that sent me to half a dozen cities a month. I had an office in Gerogetown that was pretty cool and the company was 100 people 85 women and 15 males (10 of which were married), after learning why it is not a good idea to date at work I changed jobs a few times and ended up working on the DC Metro. During this time I hooked up with an old flame in Cleveland.

I got lots of other wierdness but I am tired and don't want to write a book, so anyway...
Bought a run down Victorian in MD, restored it and used the money to move first to LA for a year to work on the Metro there, then off to Hawaii when I was 33 back in 1993.
Been in Hawaii since except for a year in Phoenix.
I came to Hawaii with no job, managed to land one and worked my way up the ladder eventually managing the largest public works project ever built in Hawaii, and made quite a name for myself in the process. My biggest rise to power (break), was the result of taking a spear in my chest for my old japanese boss and being honorable, though It almost cost me my career it is what made me more than any single act in my life.
I now own my own engineering firm and have been asked by the Republicans no less, to represent them as a businees manager in Hawaii, black tie dinner and all in Washington.
What a long strange road its been.
