Joseph HawkGeneral Manager(888) 526-2694What's up Big Island! Joseph Hawk here General Manager of Kamaaina Nissan/Motors. I had an awesome opportunity to join the Company 17 years ago when I graduated from Hawaii Community College with an Associate Degree in Automotive Mechanics. I was excited to become a technician, and start my journey in life. I quickly became a master tech and enjoyed every second working in the shop. I would then move on to other Management positions throughout the company to my current position as General Manager. However my heart still loves anything to do with Auto Mechanics. I am married to the most caring and loving person anyone could ask for, Raimie Hawk. We enjoy watching movies together, hanging out, walking and playing with our two dogs Hiro and Okami. As for myself, I enjoy working out, playing video games and just spending time with my wife and of course working on cars. I currently own a 1998 240SX KA24DET Kouki. 2016 392 Dodge Charger Bagged and a 2019 Dodge Challenger 392 boosted. Please come down and visit me for any help or assistance with your transportation needs!
