John was born and raised in Hawai’i to two Entrepreneur parents who gave John the love of business and finance. John’s parents owned a Coffee company, where John was first introduced at a young age to how the industry operated. After attending college at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey and earning a Mechanical Engineering degree, John began working in the Energy Industry, where he continues to grow his business acumen as his wife Tara, and cousin Justin, join him in attempting to build something together. John’s free time is spent with Tara, family, and friends. He enjoys travel, the beach, and reading on the subjects of business, finance, and personal development.

Born and raised in Alta Loma in sunny California, Tara began building the skills necessary to run a company through sports. From an early age, Tara had the discipline and work ethic to train and play at the highest levels of indoor and Beach Volleyball. In addition to playing for Team USA’s Beach Volleyball program for 17 years, Tara was winning Division 1 championships and Gold medals in International tournaments along the way. After earning a Business degree from Long Beach State, Tara managed an indoor Volleyball Club and head coached at schools in Southern California growing multiple programs and creating successful teams and organizations. In meeting John she discovered her palette for truly good coffee, and didn’t know what she was missing! Tara is excited to lead the team and direct Dawn Patrol to success in bringing Hawaiian Roasted Coffee to people everywhere, and possibly showing them what they were missing too. Tara’s hobbies include sports, spending time with her family, and traveling with John and their Husky. She aspires to be a loving future mother, wife, and successful entrepreneur.

A Northern California native, Justin has been building his skills in Operations, Business, and Entrepreneurship for the better part of his life. Justin too has many ties to Volleyball, earning marks as a 4-year Varsity athlete and Captain of his high school team. After graduating high school, Justin went into the service and joined the Navy. In just four years, he became a leading aircraft technician earning many certifications trouble shooting an array of aircraft to help protect our country. Justin worked for and managed a small coffee shop in Northern California, learning more about coffee, business models, and how best to service our customers. Justin’s hobbies include Volleyball, Golf, Real Estate, donating to important Veteran and Mental Health philanthropies, and becoming successful in business.
