I still don't see anything there that qualifies him to be able to protect or advance Puna's interests in Honolulu. The desire for public service is laudable at any age, but we need a Rep that can work effectively for Puna in a Byzantine good old boys system, where who you know is often the most important tool for getting what your district needs.
I know equine hoof care too, but that and a pilots license don't make a person qualified to be a legislator in my opinion. Licenses are not life or professional experience, they're just proof you could pass a test. I work with some pretty amazing 18 year olds on a daily basis, including ones who have been organizing and participating in NGO's and conferences from a local to a global level, and I haven't seen one yet who I would want representing Puna in the legislature at this age.
I don't think I'm being negative, just realistic. I posted the link so people could check it out for themselves and draw their own conclusions.
