QUENTIN V KUNAKA
Tekno King
Quentin is a local Laguna Beach resident educated in Manchester, England, and at MIT. He holds Masters degrees in Aerospace, Biomedical Engineering, and a BS in Mechanical Engineering. This talented innovator has designed, tested, repaired, analyzed, and re-imagined biomedical, cellular, wireless, aerospace, defense, and renewable energy devices. He holds or has contributed to several patents.
Always a trouble-shooter, Q often finds himself jetting to faraway places at a moment's notice to find, analyze and resolve issues with some of humanity's most complicated mechanical systems. His work with steam, gas, wind, and wave turbines started the gears in his brain turning to re-imagine clean, renewable energy derived from ocean currents. This led to a patent on a turbine designed to harness the enormous hydrokinetic power produced by the Earth's rotation and channeled through the Gulf Stream. Through his startup, Laguna EcoEnergy Group (LEG), he envisions making a bold change to our renewable energy systems in the world.
Never one to shy away, Q has also embraced a passion for Laguna Beach by addressing local issues experienced by the residents and businesses. He shares his commitment and vision with other entrepreneurs by creating solutions and a vital pathway through Station Laguna Beach.
HILLARY COLE
Queen of Quid
Hillary Cole's great, great, great grandparents were the first homesteaders in Laguna Beach in Aliso Creek. Growing up with generations of family who loved Laguna (with five generations living within a 1-block radius of each other when she was born) instilled a sense of obligation and passion for our community and a deep love for Laguna's history and future.
A UCLA graduate, Hillary's financial and management expertise has been honed in several industries; entertainment, real estate, hospitality, retail, manufacturing, construction, and service. Commitment to the entrepreneurs and visionaries of this country sent her crisscrossing around the U.S., evaluating Merger & Acquisition opportunities and developing creative and successful solutions for bankruptcy turnarounds and foundering businesses. At Station Laguna, she uses her vision, analytical skills, and financial and management expertise to address the needs of our community and our future.
