One of his culinary highlights was being a personal chef to several players on the Denver Broncos during the 2009-2013 NFL season, (even though he's a die hard Oakland Fan!). Upon his return home to Hawai'i, Chef Mark was inspired to create a locally based nutritional caterering & personal chef company that used the freshest locally grown products, straight from the 'aina/farm to the customers table. Farm to Table 808 was established on January 1st, 2014. "Farm. Fish. Hunt. Cook" is his mantra.

His mother instilled his hard work ethic which still motivates him today. Many of his family members grew up in the Plantation Era and worked on Kahuku Farms and Kahuku Sugar Mill. As he grew older, he kept his family's roots close, developing a deep passion for Hawaiian history, culture, and it's future. Our Hui Chef Mark is constantly on the hunt for the freshest locally grown products from the 'aina, as well as businesses and partnerships that share the same Aloha & Malama for Hawai'i nei.
