~ Realize ~ He originates from Portland Oregon but presently resides in Hilo on The Big Island of Hawaii where he has become known as "The Rice Man."  No, he is not a chef, but he has created a small busines writing peoples names on grains of rice.  He then places the grain into a little glass vial which can be worn around the neck.  Would you believe he can get up to 60 letters on one rice grain (That's long grain of course.).  Realize also attends the University of Hawaii and in what little spare time he has enjoys messing with computers, chatting on the Hale, driving and taking photographs of the island, spending a lot of time around computers, enjoys music and reading.... Oh!!! did I mention he 'really' likes computers :)
