Interview: Keahi Mattos

Keahi is the newest employee at Punzal Vision!

Let’s start off with something basic - what’s your favorite color?

My favorite color jumps around a lot but lately it’s been green.


Where were you born and raised?

I was born and raised on the west side of Kauai, hometown of Kekaha.


You graduated from Waimea High School in 2019. Tell us a little bit about your time in high school - sports, extracurricular activities, etc.

I was very active in high school. I ran cross country for four years, I played baseball for one year, volleyball for three, and I participated in many JROTC community service events.


How did you come to start working at Punzal Vision?

I came across the opportunity to work under Punzal Vision’s optician and the job seemed like a good fit. After meeting the team and working as the optician’s assistant, I felt like a career in opticianry would be a fun and fulfilling one.


What is your favorite thing about being a part of Team Punzal Vision?

Definitely the team that I work with. They are all very different but they are all super fun to be around and amazing to work with.


You’re quite the athlete! You came in first place out of the whole office at this year’s Ultimate Hawaiian Trail Run. What do you do to keep in shape?

I love to stay physically active. I am a regular at Island Gym and Fitness, I play volleyball every week as well as go running occasionally, and I also love to hike.


What are three things on your bucket list?

I definitely want to travel. Maybe Japan? I would like to see an in-person UH men’s volleyball game. And I would also like to visit national parks around the country.


What do you enjoy doing when you’re not at work?

Volleyball is definitely my favorite thing to do. I’d play everyday if I could. I also love to read.


What is something that a lot of people probably don’t know about you?

Probably that I always sing while driving.


2021 is coming to an end. What are some of your goals you hope to accomplish before the year is over?

I would like to come out on top of whatever challenges and games Team Punzal Vision will face at our 2021 Christmas Party.
