I am an astronomer who came to the islands in 1996 to join the UH faculty. Having represented UH Manoa on the UHPA Board of Directors for three years, I moved to Hilo in 2022. Although I occasionally commute and run errands by bike whenever possible, I mainly fancy myself a long-distance runner. Either way, I am a proponent of the Complete Streets concept and am looking forward to supporting and advancing PATH’s mission in East Hawai’i!
