Meet Mr. Coaty
Aloha!
I have retired as an attorney. My wife and I relocated to Hawai’i from Guam almost one year ago to assist in the care of our grandchildren while my daughter and son-in-law serve as officers in the U.S. Navy. I come from a large family of educators where both parents were teachers and administrators, and five of eight siblings were teachers and/or in the field of education.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a degree in secondary education. With that degree, and prior to law school, I taught at the secondary level (9th – 12th) at a public high school and at the elementary level (4th grade) at a parochial school. As an attorney I served in the U.S. Navy as an Officer of the Judge Advocate General (JAG), conducted a private law practice and served at the Office of the Attorney General in Guam. During my legal career I continued my first love as an educator. I have taught undergraduates and graduate students in myriad course subjects, and various professionals in continuing legal courses.
