The son of itinerate Scandinavian circus performers, this Hawaiian native spent his formative years trying to fulfill his true destiny. Giving up, he made his move to HUHS. It has been all downhill from there. Despite being a devoted father to two wonderful children, he remains a constant source of disappointment to them both. His reading list is extensive, however, absorbing all the classics in illustrated comic book form. If you can drag him out to the movie theatres, you will also discover his lack of interest in needlepoint, small engine repair and modern dance. He is a true product of contemporary pop culture.

Using simple utterances as "I can't take it anymore!" or "The woman stepped into the light", her style is very Hemingway-esque. She credits her success as an author to her vast life experiences, such as walking the dogs and driving her car. In her spare time, you can find Ms. Weise racing bobsleds, country-line dancing, and cross-stitching Elvis portraits. |
