Managing Editor / Hawaii (Big Island)
Mead Rose - When he first arrived on O'ahu in 1964, there were only 2 tall buildings on the Honolulu skyline. (Hard to imagine!) During the following 20 years he developed a deep appreciation for the one-of-a-kind experiences Hawaii has to offer, from the ethnically diverse culture to the "secret" places known only to locals. Mead left the Islands for Silicon Valley in the 80's and returned to take up residence on the Big Island. Mead brings you insider tips of not only destinations but also the inner workings of the hospitality business.
