Meet David Asing
I was born and raised right here in the heart of Kaimuki, and my story is deeply woven into the fabric of District 20. As a proud graduate of Kalani High School and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, I spent over a decade serving our public schools as a math teacher, following my mother’s path to empower our youth with logic and perseverance.
My commitment to our community extends far beyond my time in the classroom. In 2007, I launched 'Akahi Productions to champion our local entertainers and safeguard Hawaii’s precious cultural legacy. Transitioning from the DOE in 2014, I, with a former business partner, successfully opened a preschool the following year and eventually expanded to three locations. Today, I also serve as a neighborhood handyman through 'Akahi Handyman Services, where I provide dependable, high-quality help to local families. Navigating the world as a small business owner has taught me the real-world obstacles our economy faces. These experiences drive my dedication to bringing practical, common-sense leadership to our district and ensuring a sustainable future for us all.
From my time teaching at Kalani and Kaimuki High School to managing island-wide talent and venue entertainment, I have always been driven by a passion for service. Now, I am ready to bring that same dedication to the State House, ensuring our District 20 families have a representative who honors their history and champions a sustainable, common-sense future for us all.
