Founder's Message

Born in California and raised across eight states, Bronson developed a profound understanding of logistics from an early age, while working closely with his father in the family’s distribution business.  These formative experiences laid the groundwork for his future endeavors.  As he navigated the intricacies of the distribution world, Bronson had the unique opportunity to travel extensively, cultivating diverse connections and business relationships that would prove invaluable in his later ventures.  Throughout his entrepreneurial journey, Bronson successfully launched various businesses, showcasing his versatility and business acumen.  From making strides in music production to establishing a men's boutique in San Francisco, he demonstrated a keen ability to adapt and thrive in different industries. 

His pivot to fashion also translated relationships into sourcing various resources from Vietnam.  This not only forged familial ties but also established enduring connections with the government, resulting in an exclusive government contract that granted Bronson access to their entire manufacturing process.  It was during this phase that he began working with Shelton Higa, a successful figure in real estate and construction.  Recognizing the potential in the building supplies sector, they decided to leverage their expertise to embark on a new venture.  While Tradewind Industries began in Hawai’i with a focus on the distribution of high-quality building materials, they are actively expanding into other avenues globally.

At the core of Tradewind Industries is a commitment to bridging the gap between builders and businesses, offering them direct access to a comprehensive range of resources.  Our family-oriented team aspires to lead the charge in building a better future, one venture at a time.  By providing these invaluable partnerships to builders and businesses of all scales, we are creating a network that facilitates growth and innovation.  As Tradewind Industries continues to grow, the team is excited to extend its reach and provide direct access to essential resources for their expanding global family.
