Many people have had an impact on Kimo’s life but the most important person is his father. Kimo has looked up to him for a long time. His dad has been a positive role model throughout his life.

Some of the thing Kimo whished he knew before becoming an athletic trainer is the money that goes into staying certified for example CEUs, conferences, NATA membership and licensing fees.
