Originally from Northern California, Kevin built log homes and eventually became interested in carving and sculpting tikis from logs. “Basically, one thing led to another,” says Kevin. “I started off carving bears, then began carving a variety of things. One day I started carving tikis and got hooked on it. I’ve been focused mainly on carving tikis for over 10 years now.” Kevin, along with his wife and daughter, dreamed of moving to Hawai‘i Island for years. Eventually, they sold their home in California and made their dream come true.
