He sounds like a swell guy.
Micah Iino is a meritorious scholar and a civically engaged member of the community. As a proud member of Lambda Phi Epsilon Fraternity, Micah epitomizes the ideals of the organization and serves as an outstanding role model for his peers. He is a poised and genuine young man, which is reason for much of his success. I commend the decision of CAPAA & ACLF for the selection of their 2012 Fellow.
