In the early 1990's, Midway Atoll (yes, the location of the infamous WWII Battle of Midway) was owned and under development by a private party for veteran + eco-tourism.

The owner contracted with Pacific Phoenix to complete the two-year project where I ran as Superintendent crews and building projects.

The military barracks, which were in ruin after half a century of neglect and harsh weather in the middle of the Pacific, were transformed into hotel rooms while two-story officer’s quarters were renovated for visitors as well.

Also managed was the ground-up construction of a restaurant on the beach designed for a husband + wife team of gourmet chefs who were flown in to live and work full-time on the atoll.

The Midway project was featured as a cover story in Smithsonian Magazine.
