Fish of the shallows are easy to catch with the hands; but fish of the depths keep the fisherman wet with sea sprays. - Pukui 613

'O wai lā 'oe? Who you?
Shane was born and raised in Mililani, Oahu with deep roots in agriculture and the ocean. He is the eldest of two and has a vast knowledge of and experience in agriculture, water, wastewater and environmental remediation projects.
Shane is a project management professiona with over 22 years of management experience in a wide range of closely related fields including small scale to corporate level farming, drinking water, wastewater & irrigation water management. Shane also has specialized expertise in environmental remediation projects involving groundwater extraction, treatment and disposal. He was a co-owner and senior project manager of a Hawaiʻi-based property management company that managed construction projects, upgrades, major repairs and day-to-day operations of condominium associations.
While managing a large agricultural irrigation water system serving 4,000 acres of prime farmland of Central Oahu in 2018, Shane encountered one of the most notable challenges of his career. An unexpected, simultaneous and catastrophic failure of plantation-era water sources that left thousands of acres of commercial farmlands and their crops without water. As a result of his expertise and experience, Shane was able to get the planning, regulatory approvals and infrastructure in place to successfully provide a backup water source (recycled water from Schofield Barracks) to the farmers before any major losses were suffered. This project is now one of the largest and most notable recycled water systems in the State of Hawaiʻi.
Shane has been very active in the community with over 20 years of service as a volunteer Deputy Corrdinator with the Department of Emergency Management, and on the Board of Directors for Waikīkī Surf Club. Shane now enjoys his time on the water deep sea fishing, and helping to provide fresh fish for friends, family, and those in need.
