"The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack," said Wayne Lucas. After placing #1 in June, Hawaii has set a mark that the entire nation is racing to beat. To understand why the islands are booming you need to look no further than Matt Jones - Divisional Vice President. Matt started up Kauai when there was no service to the islands. Yes, NO SERVICE ! He moved there a year ago with a vision and after months of meeting three times a day, seven days a week, and a lot of patience, the vision became a reality. After the devastating hurricane that destroyed Kauai in September, the main office was moved to Oahu and Hawaii has been riding the wave of success ever since. Matt attributes much of Hawaii's success to a positive attitude, belief and passion for Amerivox and his close friend Bill Span. US|ma
