I was always in love with beauty, so I found the most beautiful place that I could find, where I could still get good dentistry, and surf, and you know...I needed the Koa wood, the most beautiful wood in the world, which I carved for a while. Lately I've been learning stone masonry .

Furthermore, this is my new website, and I will be selling my abalone carvings in the future here. Meanwhile, you can reach me by Gmail. markus.broyles@gmail.com At the moment, I'm living on the Big Island, with my wife, Maryann, overlooking Waipio Valley, with a view like this one....and I've got the best Jack Russell dog in the world, and I even taught myself how to play the guitar...some.

Am looking forward to hearing from all of you; how much I miss the old scene. Still have many photographs of the shack days. Will be using them on my new website for nostalgia's sake. God Bless one and all.

Aloha,
