Fitness Instructors

I

I moved here from England in 2001 and now live in Sequim with my wife and two sons.  Originally a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, I am now a full time fitness professional.

Hi, my name is Keoki also known as stretchguy.  I'm married to a wonderful woman by the name of Heidi.  We have been living in Sequim since January 06, having moved from the Big Island of Hawaii, where we spent the last 30 years.

I began teaching a stretch class back in 1986 for seniors of my hometown of Waimea, on the Big Island.  In 1992, I made a video of my stretch rountine and called it Easy Stretch - Body/Mind Relaxation, which is the rountine I teach at SARC since the summer of 2006.

My hobbies include: camping, hiking, shopping, snowboarding, and spending time with my family and friends.  I'm currently attending school at Peninsula College, working towards my nursing degree and hope to someday work in labor and delivery.  I am a certified doula, professional labor assistant, and had all three of my kids at home with a midwife.  You'll see me coaching youth cheerleading and shuttling my kids to numerous activities; soccer, 4H, cheer, brownies, Girl Scouts, drama, chess club, 5 acres, and the list goes on.  Look forward to meeting you at SARC!
