When Cole Millington (BA ’19) heard that his friend Avery Donovan was headed to Hawaii to live with his uncle and work a summer job, he asked if he could tag along. But what began as an adventure working as a dive guide and surf coach took root as a deep appreciation for Maui and for nature and offered an opportunity to out into motion an entrepreneurial spirit fostered at the University of Denver. Millington settled in Lahaina, a town of more than 12,000 on Maui’s west coast.
