Board of Directors

Kay is a retired CPA and Rotarian with a wealth of experience with nonprofit organizations and boards. She has been a valuable part of their growth and development. I am excited to have her participation and wisdom over the past 6 years.

Michael Knox is a former professional football player and youth football coach. He is a financial investments advisor and enjoys playing racquetball when not coaching and watching his daughter and sons play their sports.

Maile is a Native Hawaiian Organizational Development practitioner. She spent over 20 years working in nonprofits in Hawaii, supporting many different organizations including the YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, and Chaminade University. She currently works as an Organizational Development Advisor for American Savings Bank, helping to guide the culture of the organization and providing leadership development and essential training skills.

Maile is a food lover (I can attest to this), coffee, furry animals, and her O'hana. She is deeply connected to her Hawaiian heritage through food, as making Lu'au has been her family's cultural practice for four generations.

Maile's motto: "Choices are like connecting highways. They all take you to the same place, some just take longer to get there."

I worked in community-based mental health services for a dozen years followed by domestic violence counseling beginning in graduate school @ the University of Colorado at Denver, '01-'03.

The past 20 years have been dedicated to helping court-ordered men, women, and teens to heal from their family traumas and learn healthy relationship skills to make their families stronger. Over those two decades, I provided rehabilitative counseling to all walks of life, all races & ethnic backgrounds, high and low SES, educated and skilled workers, etc. I also helped a large percentage of our veterans learn to cope with their combat and military experiences.

With our recent move to Oahu, Hawaii, I am PRIVILEDGED to be able to help our active duty service members and their families to deal with family violence issues. Based at the Military Family Support Center at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, we help our active duty members cope with a wide range of issues, including suicide, grief & loss, and coping with the adjustments from their childhood into their adulthood. Their family experiences are no different than my past court-ordered clients. I'm so glad to help them earlier in their adult lives and families.

Still to be developed and funded, I hope to implement a program to help our veterans and school shooting victims to overcome the traumas and PTSD symptoms using racquetball too.

I've been in competitive sports since I began sailing at 9 years old. I made the US Junior Team in 1978. I moved on to tennis when we left Florida. I played tennis through high school and took up racquetball in college at Texas A&M University. I spent some time in the Corps of Cadets. I wanted to be a Sports Psychologist when I switched from finance & accounting to psychology. My career took different directions as I embraced the challenges of assisting clinical populations.

I've LOVED helping others. Now I want to help our children grow up wiser and more mature to avoid the pitfalls of their "normal" families. I've always been in the business of putting myself out of business.
