edit data

I was born and raised on a coffee farm on Hawaii’s Kona Coast. I was blessed with good experiences of growing up in rural Hawaii. Since then, my heart has been in nature and agriculture. I studied horticultural science at the University of Hawaii, worked in the landscape and nursery industry for over fifteen years and for the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture’s pesticides program for over twenty.

I also write. I believe my true voice is in non-fiction, especially short pieces for magazines. I left the Department of Agriculture at the end of 2006 to pursue my interests on my own. Yes, I am very fortunate to have had these experiences to reflect back and to draw on.

Gerald’s Quotes

“There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”
