In 1996, Robin And Her Husband, James, Moved To Maui To Set Up His Cardiology Medical Practice. Maui Is A Very Special Place For Robin. When She Was Living On The Mainland, She Tried For 5 Years To Have A Baby And Was Unsuccessful. It Wasn’t Until She Settled In Maui That She Became Pregnant. Robin And James Now Have Two Amazing Sons, Alexander And Nathaniel. Robin Values Family, Learning And Contribution Above All. As Her Boys Were Growing Up, She Always Made It A Priority To Spend Lots Of Time With Them And Their Friends. She Ran Basketball Camps And A Local Team, Soccer Camps, And An 8 Week Water Sports Camp With Stand-Up Paddling, Surfing, And Outrigger Canoe Paddling.
In 2013, Robin Sent Alexander To The Anthony Robbins Foundation Global Youth Leadership Summit (GYLS), In San Diego. Upon His Return, Alexander, Who Was 16 At The Time, Came To Robin With A Mission And A Vision. The Event Profoundly Changed His Life And Helped Him Realize That He Was No Longer Bound To The Belief Of Helplessness He Felt, And He Asked Robin If She Would Help Him Take All The Students At His School To GYLS. The Next Year They Took 40 Kids To GYLS. Alexander’s Second Goal Was To Create A Network Of Like-Minded Student Leaders On Maui, So Robin And Alexander Co-Founded The Hawaii Leaders Core (HLC) And Their Non-Profit, Ignite A Life. Robin Is Vivacious And Enthusiastic About Life And Kids. She Easily Builds Rapport With Children And Truly Values And Cherishes The Time She Spends Interacting With Them. Robin Sees The Unique Gifts In Each Child And Is Passionate About Helping Them Embrace And Value Themselves For Who They Are. The Kids Of The HLC Consider Robin Their Second “Mom” Or “Auntie” That They Can Always Turn To For Fun And Support. She Is The Chaperone For All The Trips And Has Been A Coach For The Anthony Robbins Foundation Global Youth Leadership Summit, Since 2014.
Robin Works Closely With The Students Of The HLC To Plan Trips, Set Up Mentoring Programs And Organize The Monthly HLC Meetings. In 2018, Ignite A Life Is Hosted A 6-Day Leadership Event On Maui In June Of 2018. Hosting The Event At Home Was A Phonetical Success Where Hawaiian Culture Was Celebrated, Speakers Were Brought To Share Their Wisdom, And The Youth Who Have Been A Part Of HLC Since The Organization Was Founded, Were Encouraged To Step Up To Present To The New Youth.
Robin’s New Journey For This Foundation Continues With More Exciting Ventures To Come And To Continue To Grow The Number Of Youth Impacted.
