Favorite Polynesian Food: Spicy ahi poke

“Some great life-changing experience for me has been really just getting out of my comfort zone and experiencing new things. I love to do things exciting in my life like surfing, boxing, hiking, making videos and to always be learning new things. I have worked over 10 different jobs in my life and moved to utah to experience something new and different.”


“I love my Polynesian culture (Hawaiian and Tahitian) being Polynesian means your apart of a group of loving and caring individuals. I have a deep connection to Hawaii. It’s where I was born and raised and the home of my kupuna.


While on this journey of creating video content I learned two things. The first is that people will judge you for literally anything you do in life. So do whatever you want to do. Second, is “One day you’ll leave this world behind so live a life you will remember.” - Avicii we only have one life and limited time here so make a choice, take a chance, be the change.”
