A proven top performer, he has developed his business one client at a time. He successfully grew and managed a multi-million dollar portfolio by utilizing a consultative approach to understand his partners’ needs and create win-win situations.

After growing up on Kauai, she spent the majority of her career expanding her contacts through multiple community service efforts.
