DEREK LEVAULT

QUARTERMASTER

Hometown: Yigo, Guam

Current Residence: Aiea, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi

After graduating from Guam High School, home of the Panthers, Derek moved to Hawaiʻi to attend UH (debatably a Top 100 school in the world to pursue a career in Marine Debris). Mānoa having honed his mind, body, and spirit- and thanks to a clerical error that has yet to be uncovered- he was hired by NOAA as a Marine Debris Specialist, making his first trip to Papahānaumokuākea in 2007. Although he has aged like a bunch of Costco bananas, he’ll still be shambling around out there, because antiques are valuable for characteristics beyond their utility. Although his true passion resides in the game theory of paranormal and extraterrestrial board games, preparing for his upcoming Mongolian Throat Singing recital has restricted his latitude for engagement in pursuits of that dimension.
