I made the life-changing move to Maui in 1978, where I quickly decided to transition into real estate and became a licensed agent. Just two years later, I earned my Broker’s license, launching into a career that has been defined by a reputation built on integrity, knowledge, and experience. My journey began on the East Coast, where I grew up in Maryland and New York before making my way west to California. There, I successfully ran dental labs before my career brought me to Maui, where I discovered my passion for real estate.
With over four decades in the industry, I have served in various capacities, including a 20-year tenure as the Professional Standards & Arbitration Chairperson. My commitment to upholding ethical practices and high standards earned me the Special Recognition Award in 2010, and I was named Realtor of the Year in 2013. My career is defined by an unyielding dedication to my clients, always striving to provide expert guidance and personalized service.
I joined Hawai‘i Life Brokerage because they are a leader in successful sales with a wide range of price points across the islands. Their proven track record of success, combined with their extensive network and marketing reach, makes them the perfect partner in helping my clients receive the best service there is.
When I’m not helping clients find their dream homes, you’ll likely find me enjoying a game of tennis, relaxing on the golf course, or deep-sea fishing in the waters around Maui, Lanai, and Molokai. A highlight of my fishing adventures was winning the Lahaina Yacht Club Jackpot Fishing Tournament in 2015.
Having lived in West Maui, Kula, and Kihei, I have an intimate understanding of Maui's unique neighborhoods and real estate market. Please don’t hesitate to contact me in regards to any of your real estate needs.
The State of Hawaii made the decision to put a freeway through the bottom portions of our lots. The State was being arbitrary and demanding and resisted giving us a reasonable compensation. Tom was able to forge a very reasonable deal for us. NO CHARGE. Tom is a knowledgeable guy and a really good person to work with.
I have had the great privilege and pleasure of working with Tom on numerous property transactions over the past two decades. He is creative, supportive, professional and always exceeds my expections.
