fintan lives with cousin Jeanne Johnston in Oahu.
Jeanne was born in Hilo, Hawai’i. At age 6 she survived a 7.4 magnitude tsunami, which catalyzed a lifelong passion of telling the stories of tsunami survivors. In 1996 she co-founded the Pacific Tsunami Museum in Hilo. Jeanne has held all sorts of wild jobs: working in pineapple and fish canneries, as a flight attendant for Western Airlines, a first mate on a fishing boat in the Bering Sea, and as a chef on a research vessel that sailed around the world (narrowly avoiding a pirate attack).
Jeanne now lives in Kailua, Oahu with her daughter and grandkids and works for FEMA as a disaster mitigation specialist.
