My name is Nikolay. In 1989 when I was a kid my parents fled the USSR seeking asylum overseas. With nothing but the clothes on our backs my parents, siblings and I lived in a refugee camp in Aprilia, Italy. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months as we anxiously waited for our immigration status to be granted. Finally, after 3 long months, we were approved to come to the US and received the golden ticket to this new country we now call home.
Following in my father's footsteps I pursued a career in construction. I worked hard and continued gaining experience. Life's currents pulled me to the Big Island of Hawaii in 2005. I was fortunate enough to land a residential contract in Paradise Park. I fell in love with Hawaii and was soon building in Sea View, Oahu and Maui. The South Point of Hawaii, however, quickly became closest to my heart and I settled down in Naalehu. Living down here you really learn to be respectful of the land. And I continue building single family homes to this day.
God blessed me with an amazing Ohana. Four out of my five daughters were born here in Hawaii. My family is what motivates me to try and be better every single day.
In 2015 I started a flooring and cabinet supply Hawaii brand "Arcade Green". The company grew to become one of the best cabinet vendors in the state of Hawaii and is currently the only local flooring and cabinet supplier at Lowes home improvement stores on all islands.
When I saw the smallest lot on Ali'I drive for sale me and my wife Jekaterina had a vision for the most beautiful building that will bring families together for simple gatherings and special occasions. I had no money to buy it, the bank denied my loan but. Thankfully I was able to negotiate financing with the owner.
With respect and Aloha
Nikolay and Jekaterina Mysin
