My career in real estate began on the ground floor—literally. Before transitioning into aviation leadership, I spent years in the world of new home construction and sales, overseeing the end-to-end development of residential neighborhoods, single-family homes, and townhomes throughout Southeast Minnesota. This gave me an insider's understanding of the home-buying process, allowing me to expertly take my clients from start to finish with a level of foresight that only comes from seeing a home built from the dirt up.

For the following 18 years, I translated that "boots on the ground" grit into a high-level corporate career. As a General Manager in Inflight Operations, I was responsible for the leadership and support of over 3,500 frontline employees. In the world of aviation, there is no margin for error and no room for vague communication; you must be fast, direct, and completely transparent. I bring that same precision and high-level strategy to every real estate transaction, ensuring my clients feel mentored and protected throughout the entire experience.

Despite my global travels- having lived everywhere from my native Honolulu and Seattle to NYC and Northern Italy- I chose to plant my roots in Troy, Michigan eight years ago. My belief in this community is so deep that I even relocated my parents here from Hawaii to join me. I don't just sell homes here; I build the culture of the neighborhood I call home.

When I'm not advocating for my clients or touring properties, I'm immersed in my passion for aviculture. As an avid parrot lover and caretaker, I share my journey with a global community on TikTok. I believe in a "people-first, always" approach because, for me, success isn't defined by a closing date, but by the clear communication and professional relationships that flourish long after the move is over.
