The "chosen one" who was barely a C student.
John Komeiji planned on being an auto mechanic. A mentor named Uncle Keiji Kawakami had other plans.
• From auto shop to law school to president of Hawaiian Telcom
• Now the first VOLUNTEER chair of the Mauna Kea authority — the hardest job of his life
• Wesley Park mentored him every Saturday for 10+ years
• The Rocky mindset: out-structure and outwork anyone, even as the underdog
• His biggest regret: being "a jerk" as a young boss
• His hope for Hawaii: get people out of their silos and build real trust

This is the number 1 sunrise I look back on. One of the coolest, most unique environments to watch the sunrise. You are higher than the clouds. Being on Mauna Kea and seeing the sunrise like this really gives some perspective into the grandness of God’s creation.

Tegoroczny cel na Hawajach to 🌋 Mauna Kea – najwyższy szczyt Hawajów, wznoszący się na ponad 4200 m n.p.m.
Już sama droga na górę robi ogromne wrażenie. Im wyżej się wspinasz, tym mniej przypomina to Hawaje. Znikają palmy i tropikalna zieleń, a krajobraz staje się coraz bardziej surowy i wulkaniczny. Momentami można odnieść wrażenie, że jest się na Marsie albo na Księżycu, a nie na środku Oceanu Spokojnego.
To właśnie tutaj, dzięki wyjątkowo czystemu, suchemu i stabilnemu powietrzu, powstały jedne z najważniejszych obserwatoriów astronomicznych na świecie. Naukowcy obserwują stąd odległe galaktyki, narodziny gwiazd, a nawet planety krążące wokół innych słońc.
Po drodze mijamy także ogromne teleskopy i radioteleskopy, które skanują kosmos przez całą dobę. To jedno z najlepszych miejsc na Ziemi do obserwacji nieba.

Mauna Kea, wygasły wulkan na największej wyspie Hawajów. O zachodzie słońca na jego szczycie marzyłam i rzeczywistość przerosła wszystkie moje wyobrażenia🥰
Mauna Kea to także najwyższa góra świata, jeśli mierzyć ją od podwodnej podstawy. Ma ponad 10 kilometrów wysokości, czyli więcej niż Mount Everest, choć jej szczyt wznosi się na 4207 m n.p.m.
Tu znajduje się 13 teleskopów należących do międzynarodowych ośrodków badawczych z USA, Japonii, Kanady, Chin, Tajwanu i Europy. Nie bez powodu Mauna Kea jest nazywana światową stolicą astronomii i jednym z najważniejszych miejsc obserwacji kosmosu na Ziemi.
Kiedy słońce zniknęło za horyzontem, rozpoczął się drugi spektakl. Niebo wypełniły tysiące gwiazd i trudno było uwierzyć, że takie miejsca naprawdę istnieją 🌅🔭🌌
🇬🇧 Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Watching the sunset from its summit had was one of my dreams, and the reality exceeded everything I had imagined🥰
Mauna Kea is also the highest mountain on Earth when measured from its base on the ocean floor. Rising more than 10 kilometers from the seabed, it is taller than Mount Everest, although its summit stands at 4,207 meters above sea level.
This is home to 13 telescopes operated by international research institutions from the United States, Japan, Canada, China, Taiwan, and Europe. It is no surprise that Mauna Kea is considered one of the world’s most important places for astronomical observation.
As the sun disappeared below the horizon, a second spectacle began. Thousands of stars lit up the sky, reminding me just how extraordinary our universe is💙

標高4,205mと初めて登る高さにドキドキしながら車でも滑り落ちそうなボコボコの道を進み着いた先には言葉で表せないような景色が待っていました🌅
月の方に見える山の山頂には雪の女神様ポリアフがいてみんなで感謝をしながらパワーももらいました✨️
ハワイで唯一雪が降るマウナケアはダウンとカイロが必要なくらい寒い⛄️🥶
いつかサンライズも見たいな🥹✨

📍Ancient Volcanoes of Mauna Kea 🌋
From above, the slopes surrounding Mauna Kea reveal a landscape covered in old volcanic cones, craters, and deeply weathered lava terrain. Many of these features are cinder and scoria cones, formed when gas-rich magma erupted explosively from smaller vents along the volcano’s flanks.
Mauna Kea was built through hundreds of thousands of years of volcanic activity, with its younger summit-stage eruptions producing numerous cones across the upper slopes. As these vents became dormant, centuries of wind, rain, temperature changes, and even Ice Age glaciation began wearing them down. Their softened rims, eroded gullies, and muted colors seen from the air contrast with the sharper forms of younger volcanic terrain.
Together, these ancient cones preserve the history of repeated eruptions that gradually constructed one of the largest volcanic mountains on Earth.

With the top down and the island breeze in my hair, I felt you everywhere. 🌺🚗
Driving a convertible Camaro around the Big Island this September (2013) wasn't just a trip; it was a pilgrimage. Exactly one year ago, in September 2012, I lost my Earth Tiger father. This island was his paradise. It was here that I sent him and Mom to renew their vows for their 25th wedding anniversary—a memory I hold so tight.
But the Big Island holds an even deeper magic for me.
I remember standing on the summit of Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain here, looking up at a sky so full of stars it felt like I could touch the Milky Way. That was the night my father passed. I looked up and saw a shooting star streak across the galaxy, and in that moment, I felt his presence fill my heart. He wasn’t gone; he was just part of the universe now. ✨
So this drive, this journey, is for you, Papa. I’m tracing your footsteps through this paradise, looking up at the same stars we shared, and keeping your spirit alive in every mile.
Continue your journey through the stars. Papa I love you. ♥️

Una settimana fa ballavamo al Breakfast Club organizzato con @rattiboutique
Ecco com’è andata🥐💿
Grazie a tutti coloro che venuti a trovarci e hanno ballato con noi.
Grazie ai DJ che ci hanno fatto compagnia e a tutto il team Ratti che ci ha accompagnato in una domenica indimenticabile!❤️
