Eric Nemoto

Project LeadersEric dispels the myth that everyone is either left or right brain dominant. As a higher education administrator he has served as the go-to person for analytical reasoning; whether this was understanding federal regulations as a financial aid administrator (UH-Manoa & private consultant, 1985-1994), devising recruitment strategies as an Associate Dean of Enrollment Management (Chaminade University, 1994-2010), or as an Executive Director of a vocational school (Med-Assist School of Hawaii, 2010-2013). In effect, his career has been about facts and figures – understanding them in order to establish operational plans. At the same time he amassed an impressive creative resume. He is the founder of TAG – The Actors’ Group, one of Honolulu’s finest community theatres, acquired numerous film and stage credits, and has received Po`okela awards (Hawaii’s Tonys) for excellence in stage acting. He has written over 120 feature length scripts (including his own produced independent movie, Parts Of The Same Circle which was screened at both the Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF) and the Big Island Film Festival (BIFF)) and eight of Yellow Brick Studio’s LegacyVision Films. He has also written 12 produced plays as well as directed seven plays, and also teaches acting. Eric provides statistical analysis, writes business plans and proposals, and assists with marketing and sales.
