About The Founder
Timothy Christmore, founder of Moananuiākea (meaning vast Pacific Ocean in Hawaiian), was adopted from Ukraine and raised in Kansas.
At 18, he moved to O’ahu, Hawai’i, where he worked at a summer camp for underprivileged Pacific Island youth. He has volunteered globally, including in Alaska, Australia, and South Africa.
Noticing significant changes in Hawaii due to invasive species and diseases, he launched a project to raise awareness about transformations in Hawaii and the Pacific. His mission focuses on documenting and preserving the region's natural and cultural environments amid high extinction rates.
