Prior to joining MHT SIG team, Gayle Matsumoto retired from one of the largest retail establishments in Hawai'i after thirty seven years of dedicated service.    Seven months into retirement, she had an opportunity to work temporarily at a private school.  A temporary position led to a full time position, and another retirement after five years of service. 

Gayle resides in Aiea with her husband, Roy, and two children, Ryan and Sharilyn.  Much of her free time is spent with her family and friends, surfing the net, and most recently became hooked on Korean Soap.
