John Freitas
Aloha everybody,
I am writing to you to inform you that John has resigned from his position as Director of Sports.
After more than 20 years at Hualalai, John and his family are taking a big leap and moving to the Pacific North West where John has accepted the position of Director of Golf at one of the most prestigious golf courses in the area.
John has spent his career in the golf industry and started with us as the opening Head Golf Professional back in 1996. At that time John was considering a career on the professional tour, but the opportunity to be part of the opening and creation of the Hualalai golf experience was too tempting.
During John’s time at Hualalai, he played an important role in developing the golf experience to become one of the most prestigious and well recognized names in the industry. His close relationship with the PGA Champions Tour and their sponsors, most recently Misubishi has been instrumental in keeping Hualalai front and center and probably one of the most valued and sought after tournaments on the Champions Tour.
For the last 18 months John has been actively involved with our integration efforts and his knowledge and perspective has been a great resource on our executive team. I want to thank John for his contribution and flexibility to wear many different hats while we continue to build an infrastructure and culture of one strong Ohana at Hualalai.
John’s last working day will be April 29th, so that we will have enough time to thank him and to wish him much success for the future.
With Aloha,
Florian
NOTE FROM THIS BLOGGER:
After over twelve years of spending time with John and working with him on various issues we wish him the very best as he and his family head to the Pacific Northwest…again.
