I've been with Hawaii Information Service for over 14 years, serving as its Communication Director and part of its cross-departmental project management team.

Veteran reporter Howard Dashevsky visited with us, and with his videographer Erik, put together a remarkably solid profile in just a few hours.

In three minutes, CEO Faith Geronimo and COO Colleen Yasuhara got to tell much of our company's story, from its history, to its vision, to the next-generation real estate data platform we've been building for the last three years. It's finally going to be released later this year, so the timing couldn't have been better.
