IT Manager Guy Aguirre was named Maui Economic Opportunity Employee of the Month for always having a solution and a smile and working to improve system security and access for persons with disabilities.

Guy also lost his apartment and his prized possessions, including his golf clubs and motorcycle, in the Lahaina fires. He moved to Kahului with his Mom, who delights staff with her pastries of banana bread and other goodies.

His nominator, who is anonymous, noted that Guy does not get recognized until there is a problem. Because he’s not visible much around the office, things must be running smoothly.

Since joining MEO in late December 2022 from the visitor industry, Guy has been instrumental in improving cell phone and internet service in Hana and upgrading network security and is currently working to hook up a fiber optic connection and to improve internet access to MEO for persons with disabilities.

For being named Employee of the Month for August, Guy earned a $150 check and an extra vacation day. He was honored at MEO’s General Staff meeting on Sept. 25.
