Hawaii’s 2013 Dealer of the Year
M
arc Cutter, Hawaii’s 2013 State Dealer of the Year,
sits behind his perfectly manicured desk on a Monday
morning with a filled-in long yellow pad “to-do” list.
the time. Over those early years in California, Marc said, he
lived in Palos Verdes, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, Studio
City, and Beverly Hills.
I arrived at 10 a.m. for the interview, noting the long list on the
desk with a smile and began by commenting on the size of the
beautiful mahogany and leather desk. Marc explained that it
was his father’s original desk and it had been used for a time by
his brother Nick.
He started selling used cars at age 16 at his father’s Ford store
in North Hollywood.
Marc grew up in the car business.
Marc’s a second generation auto dealer. He said his dad,
returning from the Korean War, decided to take a job as a car
salesman because he was offered a demo use and “he needed
a car.”
His father soon owned a small used car dealership in St. Louis,
Missouri, where Marc was born in 1958. Marc said, though, that
the cold Missouri winters soon led the family to strike out for
sunshine and California.
“One day, when I was three, we all piled in the car—dad and
mom, Nick, me, Sara, Mike and our German Shepherd Jetta—
and headed out.”
“We lived in a motel for a month in Los Angeles, while dad
looked for work. He landed a job as a general manager of a
Ford store.”
In 1966, his father bought his first new car dealership, a Ford
store in Hermosa Beach; the family lived in Woodland Hills at
6
“I’ve always loved cars,” said Marc, explaining that even as a
teenager was tearing cars down and building them back from
the frame up, with customized interiors, and the finest wood
trim, “the works.”
He graduated in 1976 from Cal Prep in Encino, California, a
school, which at the time, also had in attendance, Michael,
Marlin and Janet Jackson (of the Jackson 5), Chris Brando, son
of Marlon Brando, Christy Bono, daughter of Sonny Bono,
Danny Bonaduce, of the Partridge Family TV show fame, and
many others.
That year, the Cutter dealerships in Van Nuys included Ford, Rolls
Royce, Fiat, and Lotus. Over the years, there were numerous
Cutter dealerships in Southern California.
Marc said he started fulltime in sales at the dealerships “the day
I graduated from Cal Prep.”
Brother Nick is six years older, but Marc jokes that “I actually
brought Nick into the business.” “Nick, had graduated from law
school and was working for a law firm at $1660 a month, and I
said c’mon work at the dealership and you earn twice that and
you’ll get a new car to drive.”
In 1976, his father bought a high line store on the corner
of Sahara and Decatur in Las Vegas that carried Rolls Royce,
Bentley, BMW, Jaguar, Volkswagen and Land Rover. At age
20, Marc moved to the desert city to take a position at the
dealership as sales manager and F&I manager.
Marc fondly recalls the “great times in Vegas.” Frequent patrons
of the store included Liberace, Wayne Newton, and many of
the other famed entertainers and casino owners. “One casino
owner eventually bought ten Rolls from us…it seemed like a
different color for each of her many different colored outfits.”
The Las Vegas dealership was sold in 1980 but purchased back
a year later after the new owner needed to rescue some of this
other operations.
The Las Vegas dealership was sold again in 1985 along with the
dealerships in Los Angeles. “but I decided to stay in Las Vegas,
so I went out on my own and developed a new car brokering
business, that featured a 10,000 square-foot warehouse for
operations, and also included a Harley-Davidson motorcycle
customizing business.
“We customized a Harley for Sam Kennison—the comedian. We
even had one of our customized bikes featured on the cover of
Easy Rider magazine.”
Cutter Custom Cycles operated from 1985-1990—selling as many
as 30 bikes a month. “Casinos bought many of the tricked-out
bikes to feature as jackpot prizes for slot machines.”
Marc met his wife Paulina in Las Vegas and they married in
1990. They have a son, Gerald, 12. Marc has a daughter, Ashley,
from an earlier marriage and two grandchildren.
“Gerald was named after your father?” I asked.
“He was named after my father… and named after my mother,”
Marc replied, with a smile.
“How’s that?” I said.
“Well my father is Gerald and my mother is Geraldine,” he said
with smile growing broader.
“It’s interesting too that Paulina’s parents also had similar
names—Norman and Norma,“ he said.
When asked about the background of the name “Cutter” Marc
explained that it “was an Ellis Island thing.” He said that his
great grandfather and great grandmother were of Russian and
Polish background. The complicated Russian name with its many
syllables led the immigration official at Ellis Island in New York,
to create the name “Cutter” because his great grandfather’s
trade was a tailor.
In the early 1990s, Marc said that his brother Nick discovered an
opportunity to buy a big dealership in Santa Barbara, California
that was in bankruptcy. “It was kinda like what we had in Las
Vegas,” Marc said.
It was on 6 acres, with a 100,000-sqaure-foot building, an acre
of underground parking and rooftop storage for 150 cars. We
were told it cost $28 million to build in 1987. The showroom
had 30-foot ceilings, South African black granite floors, a spiral
staircase made of the same granite, 9 employee kitchens, 4
shower rooms, the owner’s desk was also of South African black
granite and set against suede-covered walls.
A story in the Santa Barbara News Press reported that “Cutter
Management Corp. purchased Gregg Motors for $7.5 million
through the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. At that time, Gregg Motors
had 42 employees.”
7
In 1992 it was opened as Cutter
Motors—featuring Mercedes, BMW,
Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover,
Cadillac, Dodge and Oldsmobile. It was
at the intersection of Highway 101 and
Hope Street. The previous owner had
built a $1 million off-ramp from the
freeway to the dealership.
Two years later, another 6 acres
became available across the street, so
the company purchased the property
and sold 3 acres to Dick Graham who
built a Chevrolet dealership. The
Cutter Company also built a Cadillac,
Oldsmobile, Dodge dealership in the
same Spanish motif on the remaining
3 acres. I was the vice president and
general manager of the operation.
It was tough at first. Over the years
in California and Las Vegas I had

Center. It trains everyone who has direct contact with customers.
A Santa Barbara News Press story, at the time of the Cutter
California sale, reported that the Cutter company was based in
Honolulu and was “one of the largest business in Hawaii.”
The story continued, “In the (Hawaii Business magazine
2003) annual list of the top 250 businesses in Hawaii, Cutter
Management ranked No. 11, with $472 million in gross sales
last year and 941 employees spread out among numerous
subsidiaries and divisions, including Cutter Motors in Santa
Barbara.”
The Santa Barbara dealership was sold in 2004, and I thought I’d
like to retire and become a professional poker player, said Marc,
“but I decided to come to Hawaii.”
I came as vice president of sales and marketing for Cutter
Management’s dealerships.
When the car business around the world was in the trough
following the year-earlier global financial crisis, at age 51,
after working mostly in the family car business most of his
life, Marc said he felt the timing right to purchase his own
dealerships. So, with bank loans backed by home equity and
personal guarantees, he, along with brother Jarrett, purchased
a Cutter Buick dealership, a Cutter GMC dealership, 2 Cutter
Mazda dealerships, and 2 Cutter Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram
dealerships. The group of dealerships employs 340.
“It was a tough time.” GM and Chrysler were going through
bankruptcies and there were a lot of uncertainties.”
“But I had seen hard times before, like back when interest rates
were at 19% in the 70s, and gas in ’73 was rationed every other
day to the cars with odd and even license plates.”
Marc and Jarrett soon decided to focus their dealerships, which
now include FIAT, on developing customer relationships by
8
“The standardized training program is designed to promote
career advancement of personnel internally,” he said.
Marc has continued the Cutter Family dealerships’ focus on
charitable giving which includes regular support of the Hawaii
Foodbank, Easter Seals, MADD, and Mid Pacific Institute (the
school son Gerald attends).
The news release from Time Magazine and Ally Financial,
reported that “Cutter is one of a select group of dealer nominees
from across the country who will be honored at the 96th annual
National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention &
Exposition in Orlando, Florida, on February 9, 2013.
In its second year as exclusive sponsor Ally will recognize dealer
nominees and their community efforts by contributing $1,000
to each nominee’s charity of choice. Marc has selected Hawaii
FoodBank for the donation. Nominees will also be recognized
on the recently launched website, AllyDealerHeroes.com, which
highlights the philanthropic contributions and achievements of
auto dealers across the U.S.
The TIME Dealer of the Year award is one of the automobile
industry’s most prestigious and highly coveted honors. Recipients
are among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also
demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service.
Cutter, 54, was chosen to represent the Hawaii Automobile
Dealers Association in the national competition—one of only 57
auto dealers from 17,000 nationwide—nominated for the 44th
annual award. The award is sponsored by TIME in association
with Ally Financial, and in cooperation with NADA. A panel
of faculty members from the Ross School of Business at the
University of Michigan will select one finalist from each of the
four NADA regions and one national Dealer of the Year.

Hawaii’s 2013 State Teacher of the Year Received
Use of a KIA Optima Hybrid from Aloha KIA
The 7 District Teachers of the Year
each received a $200 gas card from Aloha Petroleum, Ltd.
H
ADA president-elect Bill van den Hurk provided a fuel-efficient 40 mpg (highway) KIA Optima Hybrid to
the Hawaii State Teacher of the Year to use for a year
and HADA associate member Aloha Petroleum, Ltd. provided
$200 free gas cards to all seven Hawaii District Teachers of
the Year. The association notes that the developing category of efficient gasoline cars will make a major contribution to achieving the goals of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative—which specifies that 30% of the HCEI’s goal for 2030 be
achieved through “efficiency” that is, in the ground personal
transportation sector, the more efficient use of petroleum
through higher mile per gallon vehicles.
HADA members recently calculated that if the nation
followed Hawaii’s example of the HCEI, and if the nation
10
achieved the same goal by 2030, that more than 40 billion
gallons of gasoline would be saved.
Karen Kutsunai, a teacher at Kailua Intermediate, received a
2012 KIA Optima Hybrid, use for a year, compliments of Aloha
Kia during Hawaii State Teacher of the Year Ceremonies
hosted by State Department of Education officials at
Washington Place, in Honolulu.
Aloha Petroleum, Ltd. awarded each of the 7 District Teachers
of the Year a $200 gas card.
Casie Gatan, marketing communications manager, made
the presentation noting that Aloha Petroleum has been
at the forefront of supporting fuel efficiency in private
transportation and was one of the first gas station chains in
The newly-named 2013 Hawaii State Teacher of the Year, Karen Kutsunai, Kailua

26, 2012 at Washington Place in Honolulu. Accompanying the car presentation,

the country to install electric vehicle charging stations at 3
of its locations across Oahu: Aloha Island Mart Kahala, Aloha
Island Mart Waipio-Gentry, and Kailua Shell.
Van den Hurk noted that the gas-electric KIA Optima Hybrid
model, which uses its gasoline engine to generate electric
power to propel the car at times on electric power and at
higher speeds, and certain situations, on gasoline only, won
the Guinness World Record for lowest fuel consumption in a
hybrid gasoline vehicle while driving through all “Lower 48
U.S. States” achieving, through “hypermiling”
techniques, a record 64.55 miles per gallon,
using only five and a half tanks of gas to
cover every one of the Lower 48 states. That
record was 61% better than the car’s EPA gas
mileage rating.
“We all know that top teachers will help
students to go a long way with a good
education,” said Van den Hurk.
The State Teacher of the Year is selected from seven District
Teachers of the Year.
The Polynesian Cultural Center, the Teacher of the Year
program’s corporate sponsor for 27 years, awarded $500 to
each District Teacher of the Year, and an additional $1,000 to
the State Teacher of the Year. Gifts of instructional software
for each District Teacher of the Year and other classroom
technology for the State Teacher of the Year were presented
by SMART Technologies.
The Seven 2013 District Teachers of the Year received $200 Aloha Petroleum, Ltd. gas cards during the State Department of Education’s
Teacher of the Year Ceremonies. Shown l-r are Karen Kutsunai, 2013 State Teacher of the Year, Windward Oahu District, Victoria Coffin,
Leeward Oahu District, Tracie Higashi, Central Oahu District, Paul Holwegner, Kauai District, Aaron Loque, Maui District, Amoreena Nestman,

the cards at ceremony.

Solar power from your roof
can help fill the “tank” of your
electric vehicle at lower cost
Electric vehicle (EV) owners say their EVs are
a lot of fun to drive. EVs have a lot of torque
so all the power of the electric motor is
available the moment you step on the pedal.
And a big part of the joy, EV owners say, is
breezing by gas stations. By fueling their
vehicles with electricity, not gasoline, they
save money mile for mile and they keep the
environment cleaner – with lower carbon
emissions than drivers who still must stop at
the corner gas station for an expensive fill up.
Now, drivers with an electric vehicle in the
garage and solar photovoltaic (PV) panels
on the roof can enjoy a bigger benefit by
signing up for Hawaiian Electric’s discounted
electric vehicle time-of-use (TOU) rates and
net energy metering (NEM).
20
The utility’s EV TOU rates for charging at
night after 9 p.m. are lower than the typical
residential rate. Further, NEM customers
get full retail credit for excess renewable
energy sent to the grid to offset the cost of
electricity from the grid when not enough
renewable energy is available.
The combination can lower your overall bill
and may help manage your electricity needs
with a slightly smaller PV system.
EV Pilot Time-of-Use Rates*
Discount EV time-of-use rates
encourage charging “off-peak”
(9 p.m. to 7 a.m.) to make the
smallest impact on island electrical
systems. Off-peak electric rates are
about six cents per kilowatt hour
(kWh) below the typical rate, while
peak rates are up to six cents higher
per kWh. Most EVs have on-board
timers, so it’s easy to start charging
during the off-peak period.
“With solar on the roof and an EV in the garage you
will have the best of both worlds: renewable energy
for your home and transportation needs at a great
(low) cost. That is a hard combination to beat.”
Net Energy Metering
NEM gives roof-top solar panel
owners credit at the full retail rate for
excess electricity generated by their
photovoltaic systems and sent to the
utility during the day. With both EV
rates and NEM, electricity from a PV
system sent to the grid during the day
is credited at a higher rate than the
electricity taken from the grid at night at
the lower off-peak price, increasing the
overall saving.
To learn more about solar energy and
NEM, visit nem.heco.com and
Goingsolar.heco.com.
To learn more about EV TOU rates,
visit goev.heco.com or contact Hawaiian
Electric at 808-543-GOEV (4638).
How to take advantage
of the EV TOU rates/NEM
combination:
If you own or lease an electric vehicle
(EV), or plan to do so, consider these
simple steps:
1. Talk to your EV dealer and your
PV or electrical contractor about
charging options.
For some, a simple 120-volt plug
and cord set using a standard outlet
(called Level I) may meet your needs.
Others may want a faster Level II
charge. Either way, you can take
advantage of discount EV TOU rates.
Many PV contractors can also install
Level II charge stations.
2. If you choose Level II, you must
install a charge station.
The contractor will visit your home
to provide an estimate for installing
the charge station and completing
any necessary wiring changes or
upgrades. If electrical upgrades
are needed, the county building
department must approve plans
and sign off when the installation is
complete.
3. If you install a PV system, plan to
participate in net metering.
Start by adding solar water heating and
making your home electricity as efficient
as possible with Energy Star appliance,
CFL or LED bulbs and other energy saving
techniques. (Visit www.heco.com to
learn more.)
Your PV contractor will recommend a
roof-top panel system based upon your
annual household energy use and EV
miles driven. Be sure your PV contractor
knows you have or plan to buy an electric
vehicle and plan to enroll in the EV TOU
rate.
Your PV contractor will work with you to
submit the required NEM agreement or
addendum (for existing NEM customers).
4. When you buy an EV, select a
charging rate.
• Present Rate — EV charging on your
current rate day or night.
• Residential TOU-EV — A single,
whole-house TOU meter with three
rates: Off-Peak (lowest cost), MidPeak (higher), Priority Peak (highest).*
With PV, this option gives you higher
daytime NEM credits to offset less
expensive over-night charging rates.
• Residential EV-R — A second
dedicated TOU meter must be
installed for EV charging only. Home
electricity use is billed through the
existing meter at typical rates. EV
charging has Off-Peak and On-Peak
rates.* NEM credits from your home
meter cannot apply to the EV meter.
• Commercial EV-C—A separate TOU
meter for EV charging only at OffPeak and On-Peak rates.*
To enroll, complete and submit the
EV enrollment form available at
http://goev.heco.com.
With solar on the roof and an EV in the
garage you will have the best of both
worlds: renewable energy for your home
and transportation needs at a great (low)
cost. That is a hard combination to beat.
*Hawaiian Electric will provide and install a TOU meter at no cost, with only a nominal
monthly metering charge to the customer. If you select the two-meter option for Schedule
EV-R or EV-C, you must provide a new service connection and meter socket.
Fast Chargers offer new
way to top-off Electric
Vehicles
In June, Aloha Petroleum
unveiled the first fullaccess electric vehicle
fast chargers at three
convenient Aloha and
Shell gas stations on
Oahu. The 10-foot tall
fast charters are hard
to miss at Aloha Island
Mart Kahala (4339
Waialae), Aloha Island
Mart Waipio-Gentry
(94-826 Ukee Street) and Kailua
Shell (434 Kuulei Road). In fact, they glow at
night.
An EV can be fully charged in less than 30
minutes at a high-powered fast charger and a
partial charge or topping off takes even less time.
“Use of electric vehicles is steadily increasing
across Oahu,” noted Richard Parry, Aloha
Petroleum’s president and CEO. “As our
customers’ driving habits evolve, we’re proud to
provide innovative, clean and reliable ways to fuel
their vehicles, whether it’s gasoline-powered or
electric.”
The fast chargers are supplied by AeroVironment
Inc. under the Hawaii EV Ready Grant Program
which received American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act funds to accelerate the
adoption of electric vehicles and reduce Hawaii’s
dependence on petroleum.
As part of this program, the Hawaii Department
of Business, Economic Development & Tourism
Energy Office is managing installation of 200 new
EV charging stations at more than 80 locations
statewide.
Electric vehicles must be equipped with a
CHAdeMO (short for “CHArge de Move” or
“charge for moving”) fast-charging outlet. For
now, EVs can be charged for free at all three
Aloha stations.
“We are proud to partner with Aloha Petroleum
and AeroVironment to make Hawaii a national
leader for Electric Vehicle adoption,” said Scott
Seu, Hawaiian Electric vice president for energy
resources. “Now, more Hawaii residents and
visitors driving electric vehicles from Kaena Point
on Oahu’s north shore to Sandy Beach on the
island’s south shore can motor with confidence
knowing a fast charger is along the route to and
from home or scenic locations.”
Volta, a local EV charger start-up, has free Level II
charge spots around Honolulu, including Kahala
Mall and Pearlridge Shopping Center. Better Place
and AeroVironment have Level II chargers in many
parking structures and lots around Honolulu.

Hawai‘i,
The CleanTech Paradise
Hawai‘i, blessed with abundant natural energy sources,
is the center of rapid cleantech development and
is positioned as a global leader in cleantech and
renewable energy. All the rich indigenous resources will
allow our state to quickly break free from its dependence
on imported oil and create an expansive economy
that will advance 21st century power generation,
distribution, energy consumption and conservation.
Freedom From Fossil Fuel
AN AGGRESSIVE TRANSFORMATION
The Kū‘oko‘a Plan frees Hawai‘i from its
dependence on fossil fuels, creates a
sustainable green economy and establishes
a globally recognized cleantech industry.
The world’s economy is becoming increasingly
vulnerable to the price of oil. It was severely
impacted in 2008 when the price of oil rose
to nearly $150 a barrel. Hawai‘i was similarly
affected as it imports nearly 53 million barrels
of oil annually. With peak oil on the horizon,
Hawai‘i has begun its energy transformation.
In line with the Hawai‘i Clean Energy Initiative
(HCEI), the Kū‘oko‘a Plan will take an even more
aggressive approach to utilizing its robust
renewable resources to ensure 100% energy
security within 10 years.
FREEDOM FROM FOSSIL FUEL
The Kū‘oko‘a Plan frees Hawai‘i’s economy
from fossil fuel within a decade, relying on
indigenous, renewable energy sources like
geothermal, wind, solar, biofuels, and ocean
thermal conversion, while enabling air and
ground transportation to move more quickly
away from fossil fuel.
The plan also embraces an innovative power
distribution network, establishing a reliable
statewide power grid system. In conjunction
with a portfolio of renewable technologies,
there is more than enough geothermal energy
available on the islands of Hawai‘i and Maui to
provide firm power for the entire state.
CREATING ECONOMIC STABILITY
The Kū‘oko‘a Plan will decrease and stabilize
the cost of electricity statewide by using
geothermal energy as its core base load.
Besides retaining the billions of dollars
that is spent on importing fossil fuels, the
Kū‘oko‘a Plan will also grow the economy
by generating and exporting energy
worldwide. In doing so, the Kū‘oko‘a Plan
creates new jobs, generates new revenue
and adds significantly to the state’s tax base
while enabling the development of many
renewable energy projects.
CREATING CLEANTECH INDUSTRY
The Kū‘oko‘a Plan will create a cleantech
sector which will provide sustainable 21st
century jobs. Additionally, the Kū‘oko‘a
Plan supports STEAM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts and Math) education
and research in high schools and higher
education institutions, which will in turn
create a workforce of the future and
stimulate the creation of new businesses
in the renewable and clean energy sectors.
Inspired and informed by the cultural and
community values of Hawai‘i and its people,
the Kū‘oko‘a Plan will free the Hawaiian
economy from its dependence on fossil fuel
and position the state as a global leader in
cleantech and renewable energy.

In a word, we’re driven.
For decades, Matson has supported Hawaii’s auto
dealers as both a friend and partner. We have more
sailings, more often, to and from Hawaii than any
other carrier. The Hawaii Auto Dealers Association
can rely on Matson to continue its proud tradition of
providing regular, reliable delivery of automobiles and
outstanding service, including up-to-date technology
for vehicle status reporting and tracking. And after 130
years of service to the islands, members can continue
to count on Matson to deliver.
For more information, call our Customer Support Center at (800) 4-MATSON or visit matson.com.
