A short history of how I got here: In the 60's I caught the bug in the Tiki Room in D-Land. (grew up in Huntington Bch, lot's of surf influence) The 70's brought me to "Kona Hawaii" a dinner/show in O.C. CA. The 80's and 90's brought trips to Hawaii and Sailing to Catalina Island, visiting Luau Larry's and Dougs Harbor Reef. After moving back to the Central Coast,CA (after a short stint in MO) with my wife, Moana Kai Maestra, the dormant bug became more active. We made our own small tiki bar and decorated our small condo dining room. Now we are in full swing in our '63 atomic ranch house (competely retro interior) with its own tiki room addition, including the Brazilia furniture and Tiki mask made by Zac Efron (a former student of mine). I have always been interested in Exotica Music. My vinyl collection is quite large now. You could categorize my tastes as "anything Atomic." I'm looking forward to being more Tiki involved now, even though, I must admit I have other non-tiki interests such as classic cars of the 50's and 60's(emphasis as a Shelby enthousiast, but enjoy em all), model trains, record collecting, and I play Low Brass instruments.
