Biography Web-sourced

Corbett Kalama grew up in Kailua, Oahu, as the 7th of 11 children in a 900-square-foot home, experiencing poverty and relying on welfare and food stamps. He inherited a strong sense of community responsibility from his parents, with his mother being a Hawaiian cultural practitioner.

This background profoundly shaped his approach to business and led him to a career dedicated to community service and supporting vulnerable populations.
