: About Me

Living in the real Hawaii on Oahu is not all it's cracked up to be. Yet, when you work, talk to your kid, have a fight with your wife or are having a crappy day in general, you are still in Hawaii.

I am a former soldier, a teacher with special needs kids, a tennis coach, and someone who has written for the love of it for the past 20+ years.

Louis Marvin is a name I have used since 1988, and it is the angels that reside on my shoulders throughout life. They are the two gone but not forgotten grandfathers, who instill blue collar ethics in my often white collar world.

Welcome to the world of Louis Marvin.

My passion is ...

My wife, daughter, tennis, music, writing and movies.

I know too much about ...

movies and music

My parents always told me ...

You are not a follower, you are a leader

My childhood ambition ...

rock star or tennis pro

My favorite memory ...

my daughter being born

Why I write ...

in my blood, and it's a mess

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Honolulu Weekly/2001: A Space Odyssey/Tchaikovsky

My first job ...

paper boy

My best moment ...

each new weekend in Hawaii with wife and daughter

My inspiration ...

the blue collar ethics of Louis and Marvin & JMB & Sandra Sue
