  I've been married for 38 years to a wonderful lady named Dona, have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. I’ve been with Kama’aina Nissan since October 2008, and with Napa Auto Parts for a total of 15 years. Gaining experience in the parts business is a never-ending trade. You learn something new every day. Working side by side with our technicians, along with the service advisors and sales has really given me an overview for the word Ohana. You need to work as a team to accomplish whatever goal you set.
