He started King Integration with his wife Lorela in 2010 continuing to collaborate with the local design/build community until 2019.

Pono’s career began in 1997 in Arizona.  There he learned multiple aspects of the consumer electronics industry while working on high-end residential projects.  After a few years, the opportunity to move home to Hawai'i and his initial stint with Pacific Audio began.  In the years that followed, Pono worked to master all aspects of the industry and has spent time in every role it has to offer, all the while, creating strong relationships with many in the design/build community.  After helping several companies expand and become successful, he has found his way back to where it began for him in Hawai'i, with Pacific Audio.  When not at work, Pono enjoys spending quality time with family and friends.
