Yonik said," If I don't get into that program, I'll probably go to UH West (Oahu) and do their Health Administration program. Yonik used to work in communications in the Marine Corps and has lived on O‘ahu since 2012. He travels from the west side of the island, leaving as early as 6 a.m. to beat traffic and find parking on campus.

Yonik said, "My upper body has tattoos from California and Thailand, my legs are all me; I did one recently on my ankle."
