2015 New years Eve Hawaii, Akana, Butler and Personal Assistant Services, Charles G. Hopkins, Charles G. Kamohoali'i Hopkins, Stephen R. Hopkins

Aloha and welcome 2015

The joys of popping fireworks and ushering in new year with a bang has always been a great Hawaii celebration for so many years.  It has certainly been a Hopkins and Lucas family tradition for well over 50 years that we have safely passed down from our father’s generation to my generation and our children’s generation.  The firework ban a few years ago has certainly changed those traditions.  I’m sure it’s all for the better, but it has certainly been an adjustment for so many.

Each New Year we now somberly celebrate and pay homage to our great fathers life and passing.  Dad passed away on January 1 2008.  The humble quiet minister that touched not only our lives but so many other people’s lives throughout the Hawaiians islands.  Father Charlie as so many knew him, loved the new year celebration as a boy popping off things and making bigger louder explosions.  This continued to be was one of his favorite holidays throughout his life.

I write this note as a son’s way of continuing my eternal love for our dad and never forgetting the lessons of joy and goodness that we all learned from Charlie especially on this day.  Oia Mau No Ke Aloha Dad!  Hauoli Makahiki Hou!DSC00549 Hopkins, Charles Gordon Kamohali'i

I’am a proud father of four awesome son’s. By far one of my greatest accomplishments in my life. I love striving to be a good teacher and realist to my sons. Preaching and instilling integrity, valued friendships, hard work and the family responsibility of carrying on a 150 year Hopkins & Lucas legacy of caring and helping Hawaii’s monarchy and the people of these islands.

I was born and raised by a gifted honorable Hawaiian Episcopal preacher man, the late Reverend Charles Gordon Kamohoali’i Hopkins and simply the “best mother in the world” who comes from the Waimanalo Lucas Ohana steeped in Hawaiian traditions, religion, unconditional love and integrity.   I’am brother to 3 amazing successful men and a soulful Hawaiian rooted sister.

We are the continuing legacy of Charles G Hopkins who came to the islands in 1832. He was a pivotal member of Kamehameha III and IV privy councils. He served as the Editor in chief to the only Hawaiian newspaper of that era, The Polynesian. He was instrumental in transitioning ceded land ownership of the monarchy and later bringing Healthcare to the Hawaiian people and saving thousands with vaccination programs.

We were blessed to have grown up as part of the old fishing & farming traditions of the Akana family in Kilauea Kauai from the 1960’s and 70’s. We were strongly influenced by the love and teachings of our parents and grandparents from Lanikai and Waimanalo.

We assisted our fathers Episcopal Ministry to so many Hawaiian families throughout the islands. Bringing all cultural spiritual belief’s together as one.

I attended Kaimuki Intermediate, where life transitioned from the Kauai country experience to the excitement of Oahu’s social, surfing and skateboarding style of life. Played football with the Kaimuki Eagles, and the Kalani Falcon High school program. Grew up with some amazing families, such as the Donahues, the McInerny ohana, the Warringtons, the Bradda Iz ohana, the UFC Legend John Hackelman ohana, the Blankenfield ohana, the Chris Cambra ohana, Sean Pulawa ohana, the Kit Lopez ohana, and the Henry Ayau ohana. All living the perfect dream of surfing, fishing and playing sports!

I was a dedicated student of 5 years to the teachings and love of Great grand Master Professor William Chow. Founder to Hawaii’s Hawaiian Chinese Kempo. Professor William Qi San Chow was truly “the hands of thunder and lightning”. I took his christian teachings and devastating martial arts style with me around the world and taught his basic survival techniques to hundreds of students! Aloha Professor Chow, your good spirit lives on in all your students!

During and after high school, I worked as a lighting and big band set up technician for the Harvey Ragsdale Orchestra, Country Comfort, and The Surfers. I also worked as a bartender, bellman, city and county auditorium usher and residential construction labor.

As a young 21 yr old adult, I married, started a family, and joined the Army. This period marked the beginning of my 14 yr federal service. Enlisting as a 64C motor vehicle operator and becoming a Generals driver and security detail for 2 years.

In 1983 I became part of the Civilian Federal Service for the department of Defense. Educated and recruited as a GS-5 Sports facilities manager and advancing to various GS-9 Sports and Community Directorship positions in Pearl Harbor, West Germany, Washington, Colorado, and Ft Leonard Wood.

1995-2002. I transitioned from a Youth Sports Director at MWR Pearl Harbor to becoming a contracted Executive Personal Assistant and Chief of Staff to many high net worth families in Hawaii.

2002- 2014 http://www.hopkinsoptions.com has provided independent contractual consultant services as a; Executive Personal Assistant, Estate manager, Executive property manager, Sales, Marketing, and Operations Management for profit and non-profit businesses alike.

“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others.

Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be free; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”
– Lao Tse, Tao te Ching

Oia Mau No Ke Aloha, “Love is forever”

–Quote by Pua and my father The Late great Reverend Charles Gordon Kamohoalii Hopkins!!
