OUR STORY

Growing up in Kailua, Oʻahu, I was an athlete through and through — soccer, judo, football, basketball — competition and discipline shaped who I was. By age eight, I placed 2nd in the Judo Junior National Championships, but my true love was football. My life revolved around training, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence. I had multiple Division I offers lined up, including my dream school, Dartmouth College — until life took a turn.
The summer before my senior year, I started experiencing severe headaches and dizziness that ended my playing career. I watched opportunities fade, and for the first time, I didn’t know who I was without sports. I felt lost. Then I remembered a Hawaiian word that had always guided me: Kū Paʻa — to stand firm, steadfast, and strong.
That mindset became the foundation of Kū Paʻa Total Care. What started as a way to regain purpose has evolved into a business built on reliability, integrity, and service to others.
Today, we help homeowners, realtors, and businesses across Oʻahu with hauling, disposal, deliveries, and outdoor clearing, all done with the same dedication and teamwork that once fueled my athletic journey.
Kū Paʻa isn’t just a name — it’s a way of life. It’s about standing strong in adversity, showing up for your community, and putting your heart into everything you do. My hope is that this story inspires others — especially young athletes — to know that even when the path changes, your strength, resilience, and purpose remain.
