What led you to where you are today?

Back in the '80s, I competed in and completed the Ironman World Championship Triathlon. I decided then to move to Hawaii. Although it was many years until I did relocate, I always held onto that goal. As I explain later in this blog, my real estate agent path started by living and working in Kipahulu for 12 plus years. As I learned about the people, land, and history of greater Kipahulu/Kalepa/Kaupo, I fell in love with it. When I started searching for a parcel of land to purchase for myself and my wife, I utilized that knowledge to research the properties there. These efforts allowed me to further appreciate the unparalleled level of beauty of the area. The remote setting, the rich culture and history, the land, and its peoples offer its residents a truly unique type of luxury. Representing the community as a real estate agent seemed a natural step for me.

What's your favorite part about living in Maui?

We moved to Maui to improve the quality of our lives. Although there are many beautiful places on the mainland, on Maui, you feel that you're in that beauty at all times. There is always a mountain or ocean vista within view. We also personally embrace the opportunity to grow our own food and enjoy the freshest air and water in the world.

What's one thing you've always wanted to do on Maui but haven't yet?

I would like to hike the Kaupo Gap, out-and-back with an overnight at the Paliku campground.

What inspired you to work in Maui real estate? 

My wife and I are property managers for multiple properties in the community of Kipahulu. It has allowed me to get to know many property owners. It started to become clear that it was a time of transition in our community. I saw an opportunity to be of service to the owners and the residents in general. I got to know Dan Omer R(S), an agent at ISIR, over the years and was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. As I considered a future in real estate, Dan was an advisor and a great introduction to ISIR. It didn't take much research to realize that ISIR was Maui's top real estate firm.

Where is one place on the island we can find you on the weekend or in your spare time?

We are nearing the end of a five-year development of our own property in Kipahulu. Normally we give our time and energy to our own project on the weekends. We do that as a necessity and a desire.

What should clients know about you?

My goal is to represent myself and ISIR with hard-working professionalism. Living in the community I want to serve is an advantage.
