The reason behind the name
"My 'ohana comes from Kalapana, Puna, Hawai'i Island. My reason behind the name was not simply branding, but rather, it is personal to me.
The powerful, unrelenting, and undeniable Ulumano wind of Puna and Kaʻū was held at a high regard by the kupuna of that area. I commit myself to the highest degree of professionalism and integrity as the name requires me to. My work is an ode to my ʻohana, helping others claims their space, powerfully and respectfully."
