Get to Know Your Oahu Ohana
Richard Park III
Wealth Advisor
What would you be doing if you weren't working at INPAC?
If I weren’t working at INPAC, I would be helping people get in shape, get out of their comfort zones, and helping them find their adventure. 3 years ago, I found my passion in obstacle course racing and extreme endurance events through inspiration from my son. Over the past 3 years I have created 2 separate free online groups that has helped countless people get in shape while having fun, doing more than they ever thought possible.
This passion comes from my love for helping people. Being a part of the INPAC ohana allows me to help clients pursue their financial goals. Seeing their happy faces is the most amazing feeling in the world!
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about helping others. My goal is to be a resource for my clients, so that I can provide them with the best tools and knowledge available. I truly believe you can do anything you set your mind to, no matter how crazy the goal may seem. I see many people significantly underestimating what they are capable of, due to either lack of confidence, or, more commonly, complacency, due to the fear of uncertainty. There is a saying, "If a goal doesn't scare you, it's not big enough". Too many people are alive, but not living. They set low, safe goals, just staying in their comfort zone, limiting themselves, when they could be and do so much more. I work with my clients to dream big, set a plan of action to pursue those goals, and make sure they stay the course so they can live their best lives and be the best versions of themselves.
What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
The best advice I ever received was, in order to succeed, you need to set high, clear goals, and achieving those goals would only be accomplished through consistency and persistence. This is true for all aspects of your life, but especially financially. That is how I help my clients. I help them dream and set high goals, then work with them on a continued, consistent basis, holding them accountable, to pursue their goals.

Why do I do what I do?
Having 10+ years’ experience in the banking industry, I have been fortunate enough to meet and help many people from all stages of life with their financial goals. Through this experience I realized one important thing was missing which was a “plan” for our clients. At the bank I was able to help people by offering products and services that could benefit them however, I realized we could be of much greater service to our clients by building off of a solid foundation of their dreams, goals, and desires which is a “Financial Plan”.
I wanted to shift my practice to helping our clients more holistically, and at INPAC that’s exactly what we do! We help design these plans for every single one of our clients, and the best part at no cost to them!

What are you most passionate about?

Why do you do what you do?
I had a great career at Hawaiian Electric Company. When I retired at 55, I did some soul searching to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I discovered early on that I had a servant heart. Working at INPAC Wealth Solutions provides me with the venue to fulfill my need to help others. Financial stability is very important for everyone to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

Why do you do what you do?
I have always wanted to help others and make a positive and significant difference in their lives. This was something I pursued with a passion for my entire career as an insurance and financial services professional. 36 years later, I still find it extremely rewarding and fulfilling to help people prepare and protect themselves from life's uncertainties, and to help them achieve financial security and financial success. This is definitely something I continue to enjoy doing each day as an INPAC financial advisor!
What are you passionate about?
I am very passionate about helping people help themselves. We all have such amazing potential to achieve so many great things. Negative thoughts, fears, and worry can have devastating effects on our psyche and ultimately, our destiny. I know how it feels to be afraid, worried, and alone. I also know how good if feels to have support, guidance, advice, and mentorship. I was very fortunate to have had the help and support of wonderful people at the times in my life when I needed it the most. It is my greatest passion to pay this precious gift forward and help as many as I can, whether it be through my work as a financial advisor, as a volunteer for charities or youth sports, or simply as a friend.

Lead Paraplanner
What are you most grateful for in your life?
I was adopted from Japan as a baby, so I am most grateful for the life I have been able to live. While it was not always without hardships, I am still certain that I have had more opportunities and freedoms than I would have had otherwise.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about video games! The people I have met and the friends I have made through playing video games have been some of the longest and closest relationships of mine. From playing, to watching professional players and tournaments, to sharing my game play online with others… many aspects of the video game community keep me hooked.
What would you be doing if you weren't at INPAC?
Honestly, I'd just be gaming. I'm grateful that INPAC has given me a chance to be a part of this awesome team!
Casey Hall
Director of Client Communications & Education
What would you be doing if you weren't working at INPAC?
If I was not working at INPAC, I would more than likely be volunteering in some capacity. Over the past several years, I have taken on various volunteer roles in our local schools, which led to being President of my daughter's school Parent Teach Association (PTA) for the past two years. I also have been volunteering at my church for over five years. I have a servant's heart and desire to give back to my community as much as possible.
What are you most grateful for in your life?
I am most grateful for my family and friends. I have a wonderful husband of 17 years and two daughters, ages 13 and 10. My daughters keep me very busy with their active schedules, but what we enjoy the most is doing something together as a family. We were very fortunate to live in several different states and cities in the US and made lifelong friends in each of these places. I'm always grateful for a visit, phone call, or text that keeps me laughing and energized.
What do you love most about being a part of INPAC?
I love the teamwork at INPAC. Everyone is willing to take on new responsibility and help each other out. It is a great environment, and I am thankful I work here.
