Who We Are

Greg A. Seivert

Founder / Executive Director

Greg was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida.  In his youth, he earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest award in the Boy Scouts of America program.  He attended college at BYU-Hawaii, and instantly decided the islands were his new home.  While exploring the best of Hawaii’s outdoors, he earned his Bachelor’s Degree studying International Business and Teaching English.  He went on to become an Experiential Education Instructor, guiding teenagers through outdoor adventures, cultural experiences and service projects in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama and Hawaii.  After many adventures abroad, he founded Hawaii Outdoors Institute.  He feels the biggest contribution he can offer the world is to train its future leaders to serve and appreciate the environment in which they live.  When he’s not thinking about Hawaii Outdoors (which consumes about 95% of his thoughts), he’s either surfing, building surfboards, teaching his son to surf, or thinking about surfing.      greg@hawaiioutdoors.org

 

Harmony Seivert

Director of Education

Harmony grew up in Modesto, California; a central location for adventures in both the mountains and the ocean. She has traveled and explored the wilderness areas of the U.S., Central America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. She has tested her endurance through hiking and marathon running, and has been diving at many of the world’s best coral reefs. Also a BYU-Hawaii graduate, she is happy to now call the islands “home.” With a Master’s Degree in Education from San Diego State University, she has taught and supervised teachers in public and private schools for 12 years.  She is a National Board Certified Teacher, the highest certification a public school teacher can earn.  She contributes to Hawaii Outdoors Institute as the Curriculum Coordinator; designing hands-on lessons that combine natural science and cultural awareness. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, gardening, and playing outdoors with her two children.    harmony@hawaiioutdoors.org
