"Without these people, our product is useless"

Bob Jasper & Jerri Jasper

Founders

Bob Jasper and Jerri Jasper  are the founders of Movie Tours®. They both credit Movie Tours® incredible success to the rest of the staff you see on this page. "We cannot tell you how fortunate we feel that these people honor us with their diverse talents!"

The pics below may inspire you to ask, how come Jerri is with all these stars and BOB isn't? Well, she forces HIM to take all the pics. It just isn't fair.

Guy McKiniry

Driver-Guide

We don't know how we manage to do it, but we just keep getting the nicest people in the world to work for us. Guy is one of them. Guy originally moved to Kauai from New Hampshire. If he isn't on the tour, we know we can find him at the Wailua Golf Course. Guy is our Hole In One! In his fifth year with us.

Makana Carvalho

 We are happy to have Makana join us as a narrator on our hilarious Land Tours. Born and raised on Kauai, he returned from the bay area after attending Diablo Valley College. This is definately a guy with flair and you are going to have a ball on his tour! In his third year with our company

Ben Nihi

Born on Oahu, Ben moved to Kauai in 1973 and has called it home since. You can tell by his huge grin that Ben is one happy guy. A retired systems engineer for the Pacific Missle Range Facility on Kauai, Ben now drives our buses. He also is the in house pastor for Kauai Community Correctional Facility and spends more of his valuable time working with the homeless.

Maggie Kasprak

One of our hard working office staff, Maggie is a native of Texas who moved to Kauai over a dozen years ago. Spending many years as an executive in the textile industry, Maggie has found Heaven in Kauai and has never looked back. She can also mix you a mean margarita.

Here we are, waiting for you with open arms! Join us today!!!!

Our staff enjoying a well deserved company party at the beach. Notice how exhausted they are after a tough week's work.

Tina Wartman-Operations Manager

(you need to guess which one is Tina)

Teeny Tina we call her. Why? Because she's so teeny! Beginning as an ace narrator with our company, Tina is now our Operations Manager and  runs the day to day operations of our busy company. If you have groups to book, ask for Tina. She has lived over 10 years on Kauai after having spent a lifetime in Long Beach, CA and New York State. Tina is in her 9th year anniversary with Movie Tours®.  What I want to know is, how can she constantly smile like she does without getting cramps in her face? She NEVER stops smiling!!!

Raimie Mardonada

Senior Bus Driver

Born on Oahu, Raimie has made Kauai her home for over 30 years. Just the kind of person we need to give you an education on living a lifetime on this beautiful island. A graduate of Kapaa High School, Raimie has worked for years in the touring industry. Previously a professional motor coach driver for the 'other' guys, she finds our cute 'Theaters-On-Wheels™' a breeze to zip safely around the island in. Now in her eighth year driving our tours.

Wendy Rausch

Every company should have their botanist and we have ours. A full time staff member of the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, we find ourselves very lucky to have Wendy aboard a few days a week to teach us everything we need to know about Kauai's stunning flora. If you find yourself on one of her tours, you are very lucky. Just look for 'the hat'! Wendy just celebrated her eighth year with Movie Tours®.

David 'Crockett' Kahaunaele

He he. We stole another one from the other guys. A professional coach driver for 'somebody' else and past sushi chef, we begged and begged and finally convinced this Kauai born and bred driver supreme that we were the people to work for. We are the lucky ones. People love his insider knowledge and great personality. If you're lucky, he may give you the inside scoop on making sushi!

Melanie Salazar

Bainbridge Island, WA's loss is our gain as we welcome Melanie to our staff. Bubbling with personality, Melanie is also an artist (portraits are her specialty) and now entertains bus loads of happy visitors to Kauai. At one time, Melanie was a sandwich artist at Subway. The problem is, she kept wanting to draw faces on the sandwiches. When they said NO, she left. Lucky us! In her third year with us.

Jessie Roberts

Jessie moved to Kauai when she was 7 years old. Prior to joining us as an ace tour guide, Jessie was a supervisor at our local Jamba Juice and a team trainer at Taco Bell. If she isn't careful, we're going to have her make our lunches for us! She spends her spare time at the beach with her daughter Kehaulani. Welcome Jessie. Our guests love you!

Laverne Sa

Born and raised on Kauai, Laverne runs our busy office on weekends. During the week, she protects all of our kidlets as a school bus driver. She also spent many years working in the lumber business. Laverne will show you the true meaning of 'Aloha'.

Harry Ford

This guy looked familiar when he applied for a job, but we just couldn't put our finger on it. Harry is our jack of all trades, helping with cleaning the buses, washing windows and basically, anything nobody else is willing to do. He'd love to be a narrator, but we just don't think he has what it takes. Maybe with a little training down the road. Just work hard Harry and someday you may make it.
