48 We've been here for 30 years, and we love the safety and security that a quiet life on Maui brings. (Well, okay, maybe not always quiet— our two sons are six and twelve, and our family owns a restaurant!) That being said, it is so nice waking up to the beautiful views... the greens and the blues... sort of gifts from the island each day. Our whole family is outdoor-oriented, so having the ocean as our backyard and living with Maui's phenomenal weather is just right for us. We explore different parts of the island as often as we can. We love to surf, SCUBA, motocross, and camp. The comfort of a small community coupled with the thrill and learning from daily sunny adventures is a special combination! Rob a nd Kr i s t i n A Slower Pace Kristin and Rob like the simple life. Rob and Kristin Wheeler run the family friendly Iron Imu in Napili, with seriously tasty Southern Style ribs, brisket, sausages, chicken, and shrimp comin' hot off the smoker every night! Their side dishes are sure to get your horse in giddy-up, too, so go get some chow! (808) 442-3700 and IronImuBBQ.com, The biggest BBQ day in the U.S. is the 4th of July. Interesting fact:: My wife and I moved here to practice our passion in the culinary arts, and from the moment we arrived we've felt welcomed by the people of Maui. Honestly, there is so much love in the company that brought us over that we instantly became a part of their ohana (family). Knowing that our newborn baby girl gets to grow up with this same feeling of community is one of the greatest gifts a dad could ask for. I love Maui!
