Bob Hiam started off at Hawaii Medical Service Association’s Claims department processing claims for the business, a core activity for an insurance company. Patience and perseverance paid off well that 37 years later, he stepped at the helm of Hawaii’s largest health insurance provider – providing healthcare coverage to more than half of the State’s population.
“It’s an interesting business. It had opportunities,” Bob says. “HMSA was growing and adding business at the time and I believe that being at the right place at the right time has a lot to do with things.”

More than highly innovative products, the founders and owners of C4 Waterman, Hawaii-based manufacturers of surfing equipment, have taken to fore the marketing of their lifestyle. Todd Bradley, Brian Keaulana, and Mike Fox base their business philosophy on the four core disciplines of a waterman – balance, endurance, strength, and tradition – leading to their C4 brand. And beyond their mission of advocating the waterman way of life, the C4 owners have grounded a foundation that they hope would protract their already socially veered mindset.
Four months in to their business venture, Bradley, Keaulana and Fox are already riding the huge and fast waves of entrepreneurial success that they wish to reflect back to the community soon.
