About Dylan Okihiro

Hi! I\'m Dylan, and here are five interesting facts (five more coming later) that will help you get to know me better:1) I was made, born, raised, and currently live in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi (ask me about stretching your dollar here). 2) As a kid, employees at stores such as Sears, Circuit City, and Best Buy have scolded me on several occasions for touching (exploring) their display models and changing settings (experimenting and acquiring knowledge). Lesson: I tend to have a hands-on bias to learning. 3) I embrace the ADD and OCD within me while still keeping it on a leash. I like to think that the OCD helps with cleanliness, organization, and attention to detail while the ADD helps with creativity, resilience, and focus.4) K-Pop and I have a thing but I\'m not a die-hard fan (#ARMY #MOA #ENGENE #Bunnies). I still listen to and appreciate other genres and artists. 🫰5) Comedy makes life better, period. Your boi thrives on positive vibes and humor. Being around supportive and funny people makes any day a waffle lot better.
