Born and raised in Hawai‘i. More than two decades working with people across hospitality, fitness, and coaching—and now building thoughtful tools around movement, reflection, and everyday life.
A life built around people
I was born and raised in Hawai‘i, where athletics and movement became part of my life early.
Over the years, that grew into a career spanning fitness, coaching, wellness, and hospitality. I worked as a personal trainer with 24 Hour Fitness, in fitness and wellness with HMSA, and in the fitness department at The Kahala Mandarin Oriental. Along the way, I also created and ran my own fitness programs and boot camps through Ikaika Fitness.
Coaching has remained part of my life throughout that journey. I was part of the opening team at F45 Training Kapolei in Hawai‘i, and today I continue to coach with F45 Training in Southern California.
My work has also evolved beyond physical training. I'm certified in breathwork, which became another part of my interest in how movement, breath, reflection, and everyday practices can support people in different ways.
In 2011, I joined The Walt Disney Company as part of the opening team at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. My work there included developing fitness programming and guest experiences.
I later moved to California to continue that work at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, helping develop fitness experiences including boot camp-style programming.
Across more than two decades of working with people, the setting has changed, but the common thread hasn't: creating experiences, coaching, listening, learning, and finding practical ways to help.
Today, that same thread continues through the things I'm building.

House of Hā
House of Hā grew from years of working with people through fitness and coaching, along with my own exploration of breath, reflection, movement, and technology.

I live in Southern California with my family, continue to work in hospitality and coach, and build products through House of Hā.
Hawai‘i remains home in the ways that matter.
