While I do love my career as a real estate broker, I actually prefer the design + build aspect of the job…mainly because I grew up loving art and being creative. I nearly majored in graphic design at UC Davis, but quickly changed my major to “Undecided”😁. So stoked to have my biggest bro Jevon back in Hawaii full-time to do life with him, but also because he’s got decades of general contracting on his belt and together with the design skills of & my sis-in-law , I think the four of us might be able to do some pretty cool real estate projects here as a family! (pictured here is the dreaming and beginning of our upcoming renovation plans). STAY TUNED!

A very very late gratitude post for July sales…

The market has been very interesting, it’s definitely not the same for both condos and single-family homes. As an uncle () I’ve worked almost two decades in this biz. DM me if you ever need my professional take and predictions.

Thank you to continued trust by clients, thank you Jesus for covering and provision, thank you for being a rock in this season ❤️

A few weeks ago, and I started a new chapter with our first home together! Hence the selling of the current residence. 100% God’s provision on how it all came about, during one of the gnarliest seasons of my life, and we are so excited to look forward together, hopefully grow a family together, and share this property with others together. Thank you Jesus for protection and blessings(IYKYK).

We’ll be documenting the whole renovation process over the next 6 months so stay tuned!

Last month, my oldest brother Jevon, sister-in-law Steph, and their family permanently moved to Hawaii after being gone since 1990! I haven’t lived in the same state as my brother for 31 years, which is the majority of my life. I realized that even when he was here while I was a kid, I only really remembered 4-5 years of that time because I was still a toddler. It’s crazy to think about. But we are so happy to have them close, family is everything and I’m feeling a new sense of love and appreciation I never knew because this is really…new. Really missing my third brother Pierre and his wife Cory and their kids. Hope to see you soon.
