What Really Matters
Welcome to the June issue of Kona Coast City Lifestyle, the month when we celebrate the men in our community who live lives marked by authenticity and sacrifice.
Being a man in 2026 is a lot.
You’re expected to do everything. Eat clean. Work out. Stay in shape. Understand AI. Invest wisely. Make money. Lots of money. Be present with your kids. Plan intentional date nights. Fix the sprinklers. Pay the mortgage. Have an opinion on what’s happening in the world. And somewhere in there, pursue God, grow internally and find peace.
It’s a lot.
And if we’re honest, it can feel like the measure of a man has become an ever-moving target, one that’s exhausting to chase and impossible to fully hit.
But being a man is about more than what you do.
A wise man once told me, “It’s not what you achieve in life that matters, it’s what you set in motion.” That has stayed with me. Because the most important things we do rarely come with immediate results or recognition. The time invested with your family. Sitting with a friend who’s hurting. Owning your mistakes and choosing to grow. These moments don’t trend. They don’t get applause. Often, we won’t fully understand their impact this side of eternity.
But they matter most.
Real strength is formed in quiet consistency. Real leadership is built on integrity when no one is watching. Real legacy is shaped in the unseen, in the daily decisions to show up, to love well and to choose what is right, even when it costs you something.
This month, we’re highlighting men in our community who are doing just that. Not perfect men, but present ones. Men who are building businesses, leading families, serving others and quietly shaping the future of this island through the lives they touch.
So maybe this is an invitation to step off the treadmill of expectation, to redefine success. To measure your life not just by what you accomplish, but by who you become, and by who is better because you showed up.
With aloha,

The Gentle Martial Art
Building Confidence, Character and Discipline With Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Training in Kona
ARTICLE BY MARGARET KEARNS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY FLETCH PHOTOGRAPHY
Kailua-Kona business owner Horlando Monteiro was born in the Amazon Rainforest and raised in Brazil’s oceanside city of Natal. Growing up there, he says, he was a “scrappy young kid” often engaging in street fighting with friends.
Today, that scrappy kid is 31 years old and respected as one of his generation’s top contenders in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) competitions worldwide. Early this year, he clinched first place at the Miami Winter International Open in the Masters 1 Black Belt Medium/Heavy Division, and in late March, he brought home two gold medals from the Pan IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship in Orlando, Fla.
He is also the humble, welcoming owner and head coach at Foundation BJJ gym located in Kailua-Kona’s new industrial area.
Literally translated from the Japanese Ju (gentle) Jitsu (art) JiuJitsu, he says, focuses on self-defense techniques using ground fighting, grappling and submission holds. Unlike other forms of martial arts, kicking, punching and slapping are not allowed.
“In Brazil, Jiu-Jitsu is quickly catching up with soccer as the country’s most popular sport, and it continues to grow worldwide,” Horlando says.
He moved to Hawaiʻi Island with his wife, Victoria, in 2019, following six years in Arizona, where he refined his skills with one of the sport’s most esteemed masters, Coach Gustavo Dantas, an affiliate of his team in Brazil.
“In Arizona, my focus was building my name and reputation outside of Brazil. The location also provided more opportunities for me to compete in tournaments throughout the U.S. and the world,” he says. “Coach, in his forties at the time, told me, ‘I see myself in you when I was your age.’ That meant everything to me.”
“My wife, Victoria, has been key to the success of our gym, and my daughter, Kauany, inspires me every day.” –Horlando Monteiro.
Among the many wise things shared by Coach Gustavo, Horlando says, was that an individual’s will to prepare must always be stronger than the will to win. “I will always be loyal to him and enormously thankful for his mentorship,” he says.
As much as he appreciated his time in Arizona, Horlando always felt something was missing. Visits home to Natal with its lush tropical landscape, beautiful ocean and beaches, and relaxed lifestyle held the answer—Arizona just wasn’t home. He found home again on his very first trip to Hawaiʻi in 2014—at a competition on Oʻahu where he made friends with local participants.
“I fell in love with it, and following a short visit to Hawaiʻi Island in 2017 as a guest of one of the competitors—I fell even harder,” he says.
During that visit, Horlando met Keola Auko, the founder of Foundation BJJ gym in 2014. They became quick friends and in 2022, having made Hawaiʻi Island his family’s full-time residence two years earlier, Horlando purchased the gym.
Now, with nearly 20 years of experience training, competing and teaching, Horlando advocates for the benefits of adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle—including physical and mental self-care, a clean diet focused on nutritious proteins, vegetables and fruits—and the importance of building a community that takes care of one another.
“There are so many problems in the world today, so much division. At the end of the day, we need to be there for each other and help each other achieve our goals. At Foundation BJJ gym, our priority is providing a safe, welcoming environment for adults and keiki built on kindness and respect,” Horlando says.
Comprehensive BJJ programs, led by Horlando and his team of professional instructors, are offered for all skill levels from beginners to advanced practitioners. Classes with a structured curriculum focus on physical fitness, technique and strategy.
Providing a space where individuals can build self-confidence, develop coordination and find a supportive community—all while learning the art of self-defense—is a priority, he says.
“We encourage everyone to always reach for a higher mindset as part of their self-defense training,” he says. “Cultivating patience, focus, discipline and respect are all part of the process.”
And respect includes wearing the traditional Gi uniform for most classes, though advanced training in Adult No-Gi-style BJJ is also offered. That training focuses on
perfecting dynamic, fast-paced techniques to dominate in No-Gi competitions, Horlando says.
REGULARLY SCHEDULED WEEKLY CLASSES INCLUDE: Kids Gi Fundamentals (Ages 4-9)
Designed to introduce children to the foundational techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the program promotes discipline, confidence and physical coordination in a fun and supportive environment.
Teens Gi Fundamentals (Ages 10-15)
Designed to prepare young athletes for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments by developing advanced techniques and strategic preparation. The training equips teens with the skills and mindset necessary to thrive and excel in competitive settings.
Adult Gi Competition program
A meticulously crafted program to propel athletes to the forefront of high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. With an innovative curriculum, intensive training and personalized coaching, participants unlock their full potential, develop a winning mindset and hone the skills required to dominate at the highest adult level.
In addition to the classes outlined above, the gym frequently hosts workshops led by world-class Jiu-Jitsu athletes from regions all over the globe. Horlando invites Hawaiʻi Island residents to participate in a free trial class with a loaner GI uniform provided; contact the gym to register.

THE HUNTER’S LEGACY
Photo by Fletch Photography
JUSTIN LEE WALKS THE NARROW PATH OF MASCULINITY BY STEWARDING HIS FAMILY AND HOME, FROM MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS TO OCEAN FLOOR
“In the ocean, everything is amplified,” says Justin Lee.
Lee remembers the day he discovered his son’s name while diving with a dear friend, Mike Hong. It was a joyous day spent floating in the blue. “I was trying to shoot this ‘ahi, and I missed a layup of a shot. The first thing that hit my ears was Mike Hong’s laughter.”
Lee eventually landed a large ulua, which felt like a consolation prize. The signs of a morning at sea were evident on his skin, warm and salty, as he drove home to his pregnant wife. His friend’s laughter echoed in his mind until a single word landed in his thoughts: pa‘akai.
Salt.
The word is a combination of pa‘a (solid) and kai (ocean water). The name means the solid form of the ocean.
“The importance of pa‘akai can never be overstated, because that is how the Hawaiians preserve the past to bring it into the future,” Lee explains. “You catch too much i‘a (fish), you simply
put pa‘akai on it and you can eat it tomorrow. Pa‘akai is going to be the shoulders our lifestyle is carried into the future. He is going to be the salt we put on the stewarding of the land, the spearfishing, the archery hunting and having pride in your name. And whether he knows it or not, as a 6-year-old, he carries a lot of kuleana (responsibility).”
A National Spearfishing Champion who has represented Team USA in the World Championships, Lee is an outdoorsman, hunter and the subject of several documentaries. He lives a life that commands respect. Yet, when asked to share on what truly matters, Lee speaks most deeply of his family, heritage and responsibility to pass down a lifestyle rooted in mālama ‘āina (care for the land).
Lee grew up in Honoka‘a as the middle of three sons. His father, a teacher, was a patient man and the catalyst for Lee’s love for the land and sea. His mother, a nurse and a strong Filipino woman, was essential to raising three wild boys who frequently returned from adventures with minor injuries.

“EVERYTHING FLOWS DOWNSTREAM. WE’VE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISLAND TO TAKE CARE OF THE OCEAN. THERE IS A CONNECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH.”
His childhood was spent entirely outdoors, turning every moment into a friendly competition with his brothers. This environment pushed Lee to develop the skills he relies on today.
A scar runs across his stomach—the remaining mark of a battle with cancer as an infant. Because he could not undergo traditional treatment at the time, doctors removed his right kidney, half of his liver and his right adrenal gland.
“Because of my brothers, I never got treated like the sick kid,” Lee says. His brothers used to joke that the reason he could hold his breath so long was that he simply had fewer organs taking up space.
“Looking at the scar on my stomach reminds me that I’m living on borrowed time to the fullest I can,” he says. “Nothing is unattainable.”
With contact sports sidelined by his medical history, Lee turned to the water, where he broke state records as a high school swimmer. This evolved into a practical pursuit—and the brothers’ fiercest competition: Who could best provide for the family dinner? Later, mastering the bow and arrow created a greater challenge and a deeper connection to the land.
“Because of the speargun and the bow, I’ve gotten to see parts of the world I never would have otherwise,” Lee says. “They are the reason I swim to the bottom of the ocean or climb to the top of a mountain. You notice so much more in that hunter mindset. Some of my favorite spearfishing stories have nothing to do with pulling a trigger.”
He recalls a dance with a whale shark—45 minutes of connection between man and beast in total isolation. As the shark departed, it circled back with two mahimahi on its tail as a parting gift. Lee brought one home for dinner.
“It was the most magical moment,” he says. It took 30 years of being in the water to experience that interaction.

Lee’s accomplishments set him in the international arena. At the World Championships in Greece, he speared a fish at 192 feet on a single breath. He finished ninth in the world—the highest American ranking in three decades. While he went on to compete in Portugal and Spain, he has recently stepped back to focus on his family as his wife navigates her own battle with cancer.
At home, he is teaching his children the "why" behind their lifestyle: why they catch only certain fish, and why they take only enough for dinner. In 2010, his family purchased 3,000 acres of land dedicated to restoring native Hawaiian forests. The project, Hāloa ‘Āina, has seen the planting of 1.5 million native trees, ensuring the island's water cycle remains healthy.
As a father to a "feral boy and a princess wearing camouflage," Justin Lee embraces a masculinity defined by protection, stewardship and care.
“I take my kids to the top of the mountain and teach them the importance of growing trees to collect water,” Lee says. “Everything flows downstream. We’ve got to take care of the island to take care of the ocean. There is a connection all the way through.”
Though he has seen the world, his favorite palace is home: Honoka’a.
“I have so much pride in this town, this coastline and these mountains. I want the next generation to have these same places,” Justin says.

Fiction That Shakes
Kona Resident and Prolific Author N.T. McQueen Answers Questions About His New Book, Never Hide From the Devil
ARTICLE BY MATIAS ARREDONDO | PHOTOGRAPHY
BY FLETCH PHOTOGRAPHY
Born and raised in Northern California, Nathan McQueen earned a Bachelor's in Literature and a Master’s in Creative Writing from Sacramento State University. In 2021, his family moved to Kona. Though he has taught at eight different colleges and universities in both California and Hawaiʻi, his favorite place to teach and work is Hawaiʻi Community College.
WHY WRITE ABOUT ARMENIAN HISTORY?
Ask anyone, and they will have no idea what you're talking about when you mention the Armenian Genocide unless they are Armenian. I didn’t know about it until I was in my thirties, thanks to making friends with an Armenian family at church. I wanted to write about Armenian history to help bring awareness to the atrocity that inspired Hitler to do what he did against the Jews. His blueprint was from the Turks. I wanted to write about the Defense of Van because it is an amazing story of resistance and resilience, not just for Armenians but for human history.
CONTINUED >
WHAT WAS REQUIRED TO WRITE ACCURATELY ABOUT THIS TOPIC?
Discipline in the research. When you have a story idea, it's tempting to jump in and start writing to see where it goes. I had to resist that if I was going to craft a compelling story that remained authentic. The discipline in writing in the first person, present tense was about placing myself in a 14-year-old boy's perspective, limiting what he knew, conveying his confusion and all that comes with the situation he is in.
HOW DID YOU NAVIGATE THE SENSITIVITY OF WRITING ABOUT A CULTURE NOT YOUR OWN?
Elie Wiesel talked about the writer's duty to "bear witness," and this mantra has informed my approach to writing fiction. Aside from touching on a pivotal event in world history, the story of resistance in Van in 1915 is meant to inspire and preserve Armenian history. Anytime you want to tell another culture's story, it is imperative to do extensive research, consult with members of that
culture, and to convey the story with empathy and understanding. Otherwise, readers may see it as a means to capitalize on another culture's history or trauma. For Never Hide from the Devil , I read dozens of books and articles, interviewed experts and Armenian authors, and watched documentaries for close to a year before even writing a word.
ANY ADVICE FOR READERS?
For adults and teenagers, don’t allow the endless distractions to deprive you of immersing yourself in a book. Set aside a goal to read 5-10 pages a day out of a novel or book that interests you. It’s a much-needed exercise for our brains. Find Never Hide From the Devil on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Bookshop. Order it at Big Island bookstores such as Kona Stories or Beach Dog Books.

AN EXCERPT FROM EPISODE 6 OF SHARE THE LIFESTYLE, A CITY LIFESTYLE PODCAST
Photographer: Brittany Dawn Short
Creative Director: Jen Birn
Stylist: Stephanie Coultress O’Neill
Location: Hotel Saint Cecilia, Austin, TX
MIKE JOHNSON HAS BUILT HIS LIFE AROUND ONE QUIETLY RADICAL IDEA: THE STANDARD YOU SET PRIVATELY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS.
After eight years in the Air Force, a celebrated run on national television, and a health crisis abroad that sent him deep into supply chains and ingredient certifications most founders never touch, the result is Oshun — a luxury ritual brand built on provenance you can trace and integrity you can verify. In an exclusive conversation for the Share the Lifestyle podcast, Mike shares what it actually takes to build something worth putting your name on. Read the highlights below, then scan the QR code for the full episode.
Q: YOU BECAME A FAN FAVORITE ON THE BACHELORETTE AND THEN LEFT THE SPOTLIGHT. YOU MOVED TO MEXICO, LEARNED SPANISH, THEN COSTA RICA, AND BUILT A COMPANY. WHAT DID THAT EXPERIENCE TEACH YOU ABOUT HUMAN BEHAVIOR?
A: “If you’re a good person going in, that shows. If you’re not, that shows too. I also learned that people form this parasocial relationship with you — they assume things about you. When all actuality, different circumstances bring out different parts of who you are. I was on TV trying to find love. The kindness people were showing after felt a bit fake, because they wanted to be a part of something that isn’t who I am individually, but a part of what they saw on TV. And so I had to get away from everybody and everything and the noise.”
THE QUIET STANDARD:
MIKE JOHNSON
“Too many people have prayed for me. So I’ve got to get up and do the walking.”
— Mike Johnson
Q: YOU JOINED THE AIR FORCE RIGHT OUT OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE. WHAT WERE YOU ACTUALLY RUNNING TOWARD?
A: “There was something in me that was saying: I’m not living up to my full potential. I was being a follower. My uncle said, ‘What’s going to make you become an adult the fastest?’ I said, obviously, the military. The Air Force broadened my thought process more than anything. We’re so caught up in our own perception — when you learn to understand different people’s perspectives, it adds to you in so many ways.”
Q: WITH OSHUN, YOU OWN YOUR MANUFACTURING, YOU EMPLOY A CHEMIST, EVERY PRODUCT HAS A BATCH NUMBER TRACEABLE TO ITS ORIGIN DATE. WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GO THAT DEEP WITH THE BRAND?
A: “The EU bans 1,100 ingredients in personal care products. The U.S. bans nine. That’s my starting point. Oftentimes, it might be the same ingredient, but it comes from a place where it doesn’t have the highest purity. And 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed. Every product Oshun makes carries a batch number that goes back to the exact day it was created — I can show you every single supplier, the date, the origin. I own more than one part of the supply chain because that’s the only way I can stand behind what’s in the bottle.”
This conversation is just the beginning. Mike goes deeper into why he’s buying land up north, the family in the Philippines who prayed over his factory floor, and what he’d tell every person ready to stop performing and start building.
