He also donates his time to serve on a variety of nonprofit boards, including the Aloha United Way, American Lung Association of Hawaii, Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Honolulu Symphony, Japan-American Society of Hawaii, March of Dimes, and the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor.
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Arnoldus grew up in Wyoming, Montana and California. He earned his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and master’s degree from the America Graduate School of International Management — Thunderbird in Glendale, Ariz.
