About Kiley
As featured in Episode 1 of “Eat Local. Run Wild.” 28-year-old Kiley Umeda was born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii. “From the age of 7 years old I was in the water spearfishing and in the mountains hunting. Harvesting and cooking our food has been a way of life as long as I can remember,” Kiley reflected.
At the age of 15 she became sponsored by Aimrite and began her competitive years of spearfishing. “I’ve competed in State, National and International Spearfishing competitions and loved every second of it. Now I’m retired and enjoy the simplicity of taking my time and enjoying the scenery, whether it be harvesting food or just watching fish/animals pass by,” she explained.
Today Kiley is the proud owner of Aimrite USA — specializing in carbon fiber spearguns. This company was established in 1998 by Kiley’s Uncle Rick Bettua and Angela Bettua. Fresh out of college, Kiley was offered a job building guns for her Uncle. Slowly Kiley became the manager of this small family run business and just recently took full ownership the company. “I go to work every day loving my job,” she concluded.
