Andrew Kawata

Campus Ministry Associate

I was born and raised on the island of Oahu and grew up in Pearl City and Kapolei. I graduated from Kapolei High School, then attended Kapiolani Community College. Afterward, I enrolled at the University of Hawai’i, Mānoa to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Travel Industry Management. I have been a part of RUF as a student at UH. After graduating, I came on staff with RUF. I am married to my beautiful wife Vanessa! I like to hike, play spikeball, hang out with friends, read, watch excellent movies, and eat Japanese food.
