I have spent my entire professional lifethe past 28 yearsas a Realtor here on Oahu, where I was born and raised. I was educated at Punahou School, and thereafter earned a degree in Communications from the University of Southern California. In every one of the last 15 years I have ranked in the top 1% of all real estate agents on Oahu. During the past 15 years, I have consistently ranked in the top five agents in the entire firm, achieving the Top Producer in two of those years, and the 2nd or 3rd Top Producer in eight of those years. I enjoy an detailed knowledge of every neighborhood on Oahu, and a excellent working knowledge of the other Hawaiian Islands, as well. Having been with the same brokerage firm for all of these years, I am comfortable and experienced in virtually every kind of real estate transaction: whether it be an investment property or condominium, a lavish ocean front estate, or a modest family home. No transaction can be either too large or too small to command my full energy and attention. My C.C.I.M. designation, earned in 1994, puts me in a cadre of several thousand Realtors nationwide who specialize in commercial or investment real estate, 1031 Exchanges, and installment sales. My International Presidents Elite designation at Coldwell Banker, earned for each of the past 6 years, puts me in the top 1% of all Coldwell Banker agents nationwide. I live on Tantalus mountain above Honolulu with my wife, Alice, and two children, Ginger and Jessica. My other interests include swimming, running, long board surfing, and Hawaiian music. I play steel and slack key guitar and have recorded with Taj Mahal and the Hula Blues Band. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, I can promise you the personal integrity, professional competence, and depth of knowledge that will earn your confidence.
