Creating Samurai Ed for Anytime Fitness Pukalani

Congratulations to Anytime Fitness Pukalani's newest Milestone Member, Ed Romson.

I've been a member of Anytime Fitness Pukalani since I opened my Maui photography studio 5 years ago. Along the way during my workouts, I met Ed Romson on the treadmill. He is a true Success Story and was selected by the staff of Anytime Fitness Pukalani as their newest Milestone Member which includes a custom photo session on Maui with me and a poster in the gym featuring their favorite portrait from their photography session as well as their success story.

Ed grew up on Maui in a house located right on the ocean (lucky guy!) and had successful career setting up and managing call centers that took him all over the world. One of those locations was Japan. Ed was particularly drawn to the Japanese culture and one of the elements he was fascinated by was the samurai culture. When I saw he had a passion for this, I knew we had to incorporate a samurai portrait of him. So we grabbed one of his swords and went outside to create some portraits of him with the sword as a prop. According to the interwebs, "The samurai is a well-trained, highly skilled warrior. In fact, the word samurai means, "those who serve." This fits Ed perfectly since he was in charge of setting up customer service call centers all over the world and he is tirelessly committed to his workouts to meet his fitness goals. His favorite portrait was the one we created which showed his two sides - serious and mischievous. He always, (I mean always) has a smile on his face.

Please join me in sending congratulations to Ed Romson for achieving his fitness goals and representing the Anytime Fitness Pukalani gym community for all of us!
