Bio
I have had the privilege of working for Colliers International since 2010 as a member of our Office Services team. I decided to pursue a career as a commercial real estate advisor at Colliers as I knew there were much greater challenges and in turn, greater opportunities, for me to tackle. Since joining, I have had the honor of becoming a Vice President of Investment & Office Services in Hawaii and have watched us grow from a group of less experienced, but hungry individuals, to a cohesive team of well-established and well-connected leaders in the Hawaii market. Hawaii is a unique place to participate in commercial real estate advisory as it has a unique culture of its own, but also sits as a gateway between the Asia-Pacific region and the continental U.S. During my time at Colliers, I have averaged participating in over 100 combined sale and lease transactions per year since 2011. My role as both a tenant representative and landlord representative has evolved over the years. I find myself actively advising for many institutional occupiers, such as Hawaii Pacific Health, Hawaii Pacific University, and Hawaiian Electric Company. It is easy to give my all for clients like these and many others that are truly a pleasure to work with as each day brings something new to study and evaluate. I am also fortunate to represent a multitude of landlords, both smaller organizations and larger institutions, as well as sellers of commercial properties here on the islands. Seeing and learning from both the tenant and landlord sides has given me a unique perspective that I’ve found beneficial in solution-making for clients. The rewards associated with a satisfied client are hard to match and are the driver for continuing to do what I do. Also, the opportunity to become engaged in our special community with so many business leaders is something I am grateful for and would not have envisioned a decade ago. As much as I love my career and colleagues, I am most appreciative for the blessings I have at home in my wife and daughter. They are the reason I do what I do and am thankful every morning to wake up with them in my life. My family enjoys spending as much time at the beach and in the ocean as we can, which is always good for our well-being. When I am not at the beach or at work, I can likely be found watching Michigan State University sports (despite the challenges in the 6 hour time change). Go Green!
