From the Mind of NEENZ

L.P. Neenz Faleafine

Bred, born, and raised in Hawaii; L.P. “Neenz” Faleafine dedicated more than a decade of her professional career building communities as a Property Manager in neighborhoods on Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and in Houston, Texas. Neenz focused on the overlapping relationship between the property owners, residents, and outlying neighborhood members to reinforce the goals of the entire community.

Nearly three years ago, a casual conversation on Twitter led to her sitting in the audience at a conference listening to a speech by Founding Partner of Garage Technology Ventures, co-Founder of Nononina, author, and speaker Guy Kawasaki. A week later, Neenz was employed by Nononina as a Truemorist for citizen journalism site, Truemors and today is the Chief Evangelist for leading news aggregation site, Alltop.

Her experience as a Property Manager combined with her knowledge of social media, networking, marketing, and innovation inspired her to launch her media marketing company, Pono Media.
