About Tom

Buying or selling a home in Hawaii is more than a transaction—it’s a meaningful step in someone’s life journey. I still remember buying my first home in 1998—excited, nervous, and unsure of what to expect. Thankfully, I had an incredible agent who guided me with clarity and care. That experience is the foundation of how I work with my clients today: with integrity, knowledge, empathy, confidentiality, and a commitment to making the process feel empowering—not overwhelming. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing ohana, or a global investor, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence—and aloha.

MY BACKGROUND
Before real estate, I built my skills in negotiation, customer service, marketing, and financial analysis at industry leading organizations GE, Bank of Hawaii, Frito-Lay, and the U.S. Army. That foundation helps me bring a calm, strategic approach to even the most complex transactions.
I’ve had the honor of helping a wide range of clients—from Oahu families to international investors in Japan, Canada, Australia, and the mainland U.S.—whether relocating across the island or purchasing from overseas.

WHERE I SPECIALIZE
While I serve clients all over Oahu, I specialize in communities stretching from Ko Olina to Hawaii Kai and into Windward neighborhoods Kailua and Kaneohe as well as all Central Oahu neighborhoods. Whether you're searching for a beachside escape, a kamaaina-style home, or a smart investment property, I’ll help you navigate the market with insight and intention.
Through my partnership with Compass, I provide access to powerful marketing tools, real-time data, and a trusted network to make your experience seamless and successful.

OUTSIDE OF WORK
When I’m not helping clients find their place in paradise, you’ll often find me in the ocean—outrigger paddling, surfing, swimming, or free diving. I also love being outdoors—running, hiking, biking, and camping—or traveling to new places and discovering how people live across cultures.
I’m passionate about real estate investing, and I enjoy giving back through local volunteer work
