Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen has appointed Patrick McCall and Shane Dudoit to serve as director and deputy director, respectively, of the Department of Parks and Recreation. 

McCall is a former middle school athletics coordinator for Kamehameha Schools Maui and athletic director and dean of students for St. Anthony Junior and Senior High Schools. He also served as vice principal of King Kekaulike High School. 

He has been a fourth grade teacher at Kula Elementary School since 2017, where he co-founded the after-school agriculture program at Keokea and teaches Hawaiian culture and history as part of the curriculum. From 1998 to 2001, McCall was the Hawaii High School Athletic Association’s statewide coordinator for cross country and co-coordinator for track and field. 

McCall earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology degree from Gonzaga University and a Master of Education from Chaminade University in Honolulu.

Dudoit, who has been an associate scout for the major league baseball team Texas Rangers since 2019, has an extensive history of coaching high school sports, including teams at Molokai, Baldwin, St. Anthony, Lahainaluna and Kamehameha Maui. 

Dudoit retired from the Maui Fire Department in 2016 after 25 years as a firefighter. He is a graduate of Molokai High School and attended the University of Hawaii.

“Generations of our families make use of our facilities, parks, programs and services – making the work of the department central to the lives of many from keiki to kupuna on Maui, Molokai and Lanai,” Bissen said in a news release. “With the combined program experiences of Pat and Shane and their abilities to lead teams, I’m looking forward to the positive things they will do to serve our growing community and meet the recreational needs of many.”

Malama Minn, whose appointee announcement as director of the Department of Parks and Recreation was made earlier, will not be joining the administration, according to the news release sent out late Friday. 

Appointments of department directors are subject to confirmation by the County Council.
