Originally from Hawaii, he graduated with his Bachelors in Information Systems at Brigham Young University Hawaii and his Masters in Information Systems at Hawaii Pacific University.

He was introduced to ITEN Wired and enjoys helping out in the Logistics and Sponsorship committees. In his free time he enjoys hanging out with his family, boating/fishing, and motorcycling. He has a passion for home automation technology and for good Asian and Hawaiian food (willing to drive long distances for great eats).

ITEN WIRED: GROWING THE CYBER COAST
ITEN (Innovation, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Network) WIRED Summit is the Southeast’s premier cybersecurity and IT conference to connect, collaborate and build community with industry leaders, entrepreneurs and educators on innovation, technology and entrepreneurship topics.
The three-day event highlights the area’s cybersecurity, information technology and entrepreneurial communities and explores emerging technology and innovators in start-up tech, artificial intelligence, robotics, and emerging technologies on the national scene.
The summit, which began as an economic development initiative in 2008 by the Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce, is now hosted by IT Gulf Coast.
ITEN WIRED is a not-for-profit, technology-focused conference. Proceeds from the event are used to support IT Gulf Coast's local STEM initiatives, including endowments to the University of West Florida and Pensacola State College.
The next ITEN WIRED Summit will take place on October 5-7, 2022.
Meet the Team
The ITEN WIRED planning team is composed of volunteers from IT Gulf Coast, Florida West Economic Development Alliance, and other members of our local IT, tech and entrepreneurial community.
