Aloha Neighbors,
My name is Steve and my wife Lissie and I moved to Puna in July of 2010.. Lissie is originally from St. Thomas V.I. and
I grew up in Santa Barbara county Calif.. I traveled a lot and was in telecommunications for a decade...We have been together
for almost 40yrs.. We lived in SW Florida for many yrs and built a business in Landscape Design and Horticulture..raised a family
and retired at 50.. We then lived in Northern Florida and then St Augustine til we up and moved to the big island.. We both love
animals, gardening, surfing when able.. We came to the Puna area because we had so many friends in St Auggie that had lived in
Hawaii and all of them said that Puna area would be the best for us.. We definitely agree with them.. So we landed with two carry
on bags and have been loving it here every since..I met a very nice lady today at the Buddhist Temple in Keauu who told me about this site.. So here i am, I also love photography, painting and being creative in any way that inspires me.. Am very interested in
growing more local fruit and farming in a sustainable way... Glad to be here, glad to be alive and look forward to new friendships made on Punatalk.....
