PAUL KLINK
Born, raised and educated in upstate New York, Paul, fed up with all the snow and ice has followed the sun
to Hawaii and has made it his home since.
Formerly, as President and C.E.O. of Aloha Direct, a full-service direct response advertising and marketing
service organization, a division of Klink, Inc. Worldwide, he is brought sophisticated electronic marketing,
video infotainment and database services to the state. In addition to this he was the Chairman and Founder (1979)
of Information Technology, a multinational company that designs, builds and maintains information systems for public,
private and academic organizations.
Deeply committed to the community, Paul was installed as Chairman of Ad 2; professionals in advertising and in
1994 spearheaded a project (Rock'n Vote) that brought Major candidates face-to-face with the young people, the most
underrepresented segment of the population. He also authored the words "Live Aloha" and sits the board of the Live Aloha
organization which is designed to rejuvenate the aloha spirit for which Hawaii is so famous. The Live Aloha campaign
provides a bumper sticker effort that has hundreds of thousands of participants in Hawaii and worldwide.
Most recently, Paul had accepted the position as President of The Aloha Foundation. An organization whose sole
purpose is to focus on spreading the Aloha Spirit through many actions. Paul now is fully disabled from additional
cardiac implants, ambulatory sinus tarsi evacuation, abdominal implants, tracheostomy and pulmonary challenges with
occasional dependence on portable oxygen.
