As the athletic director at the University of Hawaii Hilo, I am privileged and blessed to play a role in building a department of staff and coaches that are committed to our student-athletes.
I take great pride in that responsibility. I desire to build a team that wants to help make the student-athlete experience the best that it can be. One of those team members is our faculty athletic representative, Dr. Randy Hirokawa. Randy loves athletics (don’t get him started talking about when he was the public address voice for the Iowa Hawkeyes softball team) and he certainly has a passion for the challenges that face our student-athletes at UH Hilo.
